Flavorful Hemp Ingredients
FOR CRAFT BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS & DISTILLERS
The New Flavor Opportunity.
Have you tried hemp beer? Adding our shelled hemp seeds (hearts), whole roasted hemp seeds, or Hemp Protein50, hemp opens new flavor dimensions for craft brewers. And now some cider makers and distillers are crafting hemp-flavored offerings. Whether added to an IPA, pilsner, lager, ale or darker beer — hemp brings opportunities to craft a new range of flavor experiences with an on-trend ingredient.
Brewers and now distillers across the U.S. are deploying hemp’s different formats, which to quote one brewer, have “as many aroma outcomes as hops” to create exciting new combinations of flavors.
Shelled Hemp Seeds
Shelled Hemp Seeds, often called Hearts, are the germ of the hemp seed.
Uses: For brewers adding shelled hemp seeds (hearts), the 42-45% fat level will tend to soften the head on your beer while contributing a mildly nutty flavor and a bit of fattiness. Distillers are trying out shelled hemp seeds in gin. Hemp seeds offer a long list of opportunities for creativity.
Flavor: Mild, nutty flavor that might best be described as a cross between a pine nut and a sesame seed.
Visual: White with green flecks.
Nutrition: We know we don’t seek out nutrition in our adult beverages, but hey, it can’t hurt to include healthy ingredients, right? Shelled Hemp Seeds deliver 30-35% complete protein, 42-45% fat (almost all healthy polyunsaturated), have near-zero carbs or sugars – and B vitamins, iron, magnesium at 20-45% of RDA in a single ounce!
