Hemp Questions
Can I cook with Manitoba Harvest hemp products?
Where is your hemp grown?
We have been sourcing our hemp from Canadian farmers for more than 20 years and we will continue to partner with them for our line of hemp food products.
How much hemp is too much in a day?
I thought Omega 6s are bad for you?
When it comes to our bodies we need a mix or balance of essential fatty acids (EFAs). It is best to consume foods that have naturally balanced omegas. Hemp has an Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio of 3:1. Plus, the omegas in hemp are unrefined and easily digestible.
For more information about “good” and “bad” Omega 6s or the balance of omegas, contact your health care professional.

Are hemp foods safe for children?
Absolutely! Just remember to consider body weight when determining serving size – much like you would with any other food. As a general guideline cut the recommended serving size shown on each package by 1/3 or 1/2 depending on the child’s age and size.
Are hemp seeds safe for pregnant women?
Yes. Hemp contains numerous nutrients including folic acid, so it is a safe and delicious addition to expectant mothers’ diets.

Hemp hearts are hulled hemp seeds. They are the soft, chewy center inside the shell of the hemp seed. Think of the tasty, soft inside of a sunflower seed that you eat.

Hemp hearts are versatile and fun to experiment with – add them to smoothies, desserts, and more!
