Hemp Seeds

One of the only plant sources of complete protein — all essential amino acids in an optimal ratio for human absorption. The 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is the ideal for inflammation management. Soft texture makes them the most versatile Tier 1 seed.

Why it is ours

Available at Whole Foods, Target, Costco, and mainstream grocery stores. Increasingly affordable.

What it does

GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) in hemp seeds has documented anti-inflammatory and hormone-regulating effects — directly relevant to fibroid and PMS management. The optimal omega-6:omega-3 ratio makes them one of the best seeds for managing chronic inflammation. Complete protein means they work as a standalone protein source when fish or meat isn't available.

How it is cooked

Add 2-3 tablespoons to smoothies, oatmeal, salads, or yogurt. Do not cook — heat damages the delicate oils. The soft texture means they blend invisibly into most foods.
