Here, nutrition experts share six science-backed reasons that hemp seeds are super healthy—and how to work them into your meals moving forward. What’s more, Davar explains that because hemp seeds are higher in fatty acids (both omega-6s and 3s), they’re slightly higher in calories than other seeds, like chia, but they’re easier to digest as a topper to meals and snacks, whereas chia seeds require soaking for optimal absorption. When shopping for hemp seeds (be it online or in-store), it’s still a good idea to research the brand and its sustainability practices. Davar encourages clients to look for local farmers that used organic and regenerative farming approaches to help support the well-being of our planet.
