View Full Version : Hemp Seeds vs Hemp Oil

I'm buying a bunch of supplements in bulk, including some hemp.

I was wondering if anyone has some knowledge regarding Hemp Seeds vs Hemp Oil? I imagine the oil is just pressed from the seeds, so is it redundant to bring the Hemp Oil into my diet if I already consume plenty of Hemp Hearts (seeds)?

These are the products in question:

Hemp Hearts (http://manitobaharvest.com/product/175/Hemp-Hearts-11.36kg.html)

Hemp Oil (http://manitobaharvest.com/product/192/Hemp-Oil-4L.html)

Also, I was looking at Hemp Protein (http://manitobaharvest.com/category/16/Hemp-Protein-Powder.html#trail) but if I'm already blending Hemp Hearts into my shakes, this would probably be redundant as well?

Thanks!

I would just stick with Hemp hearts.

Also, get them from Costco. Its like $15 for a 2 lb bag there.

The CostCo price sounds a bit off, I believe it is priced at $15 for 454 g bag.

Best Hemp Hearts deal (9 containers (9x 454 g) or 9 pounds, $114 all in, to your door):

I order by the box, fast shipping by courier and a discount on first and repeat orders. Edmonton, Alberta company.

Costco is $$$, healthfood stores are retarded $$$ and Safeway the highest price.

Unless you are getting a much price better than the ones listed online, it is still cheaper to get them at Costco.

They are the Manitoba Harvest ones that they carry there.

Costco is about $15-17/kg

Costco has a ~2 lb (907g) bag.

When I was there I bought 2 for about $15-17 each.

I know the prices because I was shocked to see how cheap they were and went online to see if we could order them and the prices online were much higher.

Save your money. Check Costco first.

11.36kg for $225 from Manitoba Harvest. I'll check to see what Costco charges.

I was just there (NW) on Wednesday, nice and empty at 2:00. Will need to make another trip as that is a great price. Thanks for the tip.

Costco is cheaper and is Manitoba Harvest brand.

Though I occasionally find a piece of sand in it.

Coles Notes:

Perfect balance of Omega 3-6-9 acids
full amino acid - complete protein
massive trace mineral content

In summary: They are about the healthiest source of protein you can eat.

I think hemp hearts have an expiry date so you much want to make sure before buying a huge amount.

Refrigerate after opening. Some brands use Vitamin E as a natural preservative.

Keep in mind you can get Hemp Seeds and Shelled hemp seeds. The outer shell is crunchy and extremely nutritious, but some people prefer the soft delicious innards only.

They last a long time in the freezer.
