Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will these seeds make me "high"?
Answer: No. These are Industrial Hemp seeds. They contain less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive compound). They are purely a nutritional superfood and have no intoxicating effects whatsoever.
2. Are these "Hemp Hearts"?
Answer: No, these are Whole Hemp Seeds with the crunchy outer shell intact. Hemp Hearts are the soft, white inner meat after the shell is removed. You buy these whole seeds to manufacture Hemp Hearts.
3. Is it legal to ship globally?
Answer: In most major markets (USA, EU, UK, India), Hemp Seeds and Hemp Seed Oil are fully legal food products, exempt from drug laws because they are sterile and low-THC. However, import regulations vary, so always check your local laws.
4. Can I sprout these seeds?
Answer: Generally, export-grade hemp seeds are sterilized (non-viable) to comply with international anti-cultivation laws. They are intended for consumption (eating/pressing), not for planting/farming.
5. What is the shelf life?
Answer: Whole hemp seeds are protected by their hard shell and have a shelf life of 12 to 18 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once hulled (hearts), the shelf life decreases due to oxidation.
