Product Description
Nutiva Organic, Raw, Shelled Hempseed from non-GMO, sustainably-farmed Canadian hemp is the richest known source of polyunsaturated fats, containing a perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 linoleic acid and Omega-3 linoleic acid. In fact, the hempseed's balance of Omega 3 to 6 fats is the perfect proportion for human dietary needs, making hemp an ideal addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Hemp is loaded with all 20 amino acids (including the nine essential), and provides the added bonus of good-for-you essential fatty acids. Unlike other hemp products on the market, Nutiva Organic, Raw, Shelled Hempseed is all natural. At Nutiva, we start with organic, non-GMO, sustainably grown hempseeds. We simply remove the seeds' hard shells, yielding a 100% raw culinary product that tastes like pine nuts, supplying raw organic plant protein and healthy fiber in every serving. Nutiva Organic, Raw, Shelled Hempseed is a healthful addition to vegetarian, vegan, raw, whole food, paleo, ketogenic, and gluten-free diets, just right for sprinkling over yogurt or salads, adding to shakes and smoothies, or including in baked or sautéed dishes. They even make a great snack right out of the bag! Nutiva was founded in 1999 with a single purpose in mind - to Revolutionize the Way the World Eats. We produce organic, nutrient-dense foods that are good for you and good for the planet. Social and environmental responsibility is a core part of Nutiva’s culture and business.

From the Manufacturer
The bottom line is that when the product is subjected to small parcel shipments, it can lose its vacuum seal. However this does not mean that the freshness of the product has been compromised whatsoever. From Nutiva, the product still remains fresh even without a vacuum seal and does not lose any product integrity.
