Unboxing & Review of Shelled Hemp Seeds by Healthworks

Let me start with the pros. All of the seeds seem to be full seeds — there is no dust, no partial seeds, and no mess. This also seems to be a great value: I purchased two pounds, thirty-two ounces, for $14.99, and the product actually weighed a full two pounds, which was great. It also arrived fresh. I have gotten hemp hearts before that smelled a little funky, but these smelled like they were in good condition. As for the cons, the packaging seems to be something like mylar or an aluminized material, and it is not recyclable. And because they are shelf-stable, there is a possible oxidization issue — though there is not much you can do about that when you purchase them. Overall, my verdict is that I have been using these in my pre-prepped smoothies for the last few weeks and I find them definitely up to par. I find that using whole hemp hearts instead of extracted hemp protein seems to work better with my digestive system. Five out of five stars.
