Product Description Nutiva Organic, Raw, Shelled Hempseed from non-GMO, sustainably-farmed Canadian hemp is the richest known source of polyunsaturated fats, containing a perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 linoleic acid and Omega-3 linoleic acid. In fact, the hempseed's balance of Omega 3 to 6 fats is the perfect proportion for human dietary needs, making hemp an ideal addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Hemp is loaded with all 20 amino acids (including the nine essential), and provides the added bonus of good-for-you essential fatty acids. Unlike other hemp products on the market, Nutiva Organic, Raw, Shelled Hempseed is all natural. At Nutiva, we start with organic, non-GMO, sustainably grown hempseeds.

From the Manufacturer The bottom line is that when the product is subjected to small parcel shipments, it can lose its vacuum seal. However this does not mean that the freshness of the product has been compromised whatsoever. From Nutiva, the product still remains fresh even without a vacuum seal and does not lose any product integrity.
