Hulled Versus Whole Hemp Seed

The only real difference is the shell, but removing it changes almost everything else. Whole seed keeps its crunch and most of its fibre, tends to cost less by weight and stays stable longer because the hull shields the oil inside. Hearts are softer, quicker to digest and more concentrated in protein and fat. These comparisons set the two side by side on texture, nutrition, shelf life and cost, so you can pick the right one at the shop.
