Hemp hearts are simply hemp seeds that have been shelled and so the two terms are used interchangeably. Hemp hearts are packed with protein (even more than flaxseeds and chia seeds) and also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and other minerals.
Hemp hearts have a mild nutty flavor and can be added to oatmeal, smoothies, salads and anything else to boost its nutritional value.
