¿Qué es Hemp Seeds?
Hemp seeds, also known as hemp hearts, are the edible seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, but they contain only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound. They are celebrated for their rich nutritional content, including healthy fats, protein, and various minerals. These small, light-colored seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and a tender, slightly crunchy texture.
