I’ve never had hemp seeds before and bought all three flavors. I am more of a sweet than salty fan, so of the three I like this the best. It’s not sugary and the sweetness is very subtle, but there. Will purchase again.

Great compact snack with mild, but solid flavor. Good source of nutrition. Very filling.

Love them all I can’t eat granola because of weight loss surgery. I take a big scoop of these along with a scoop of Chia seed and another scoop of almonds and mix it with my yogurt. It’s crunchy and satisfying, I love these on top of salads to and in place of popcorn.
