Hemp is a plant-based protein source that contains all nine essential amino acids.**\n\n## How much protein do hemp seeds contain?\n\nWhole, unshelled hemp seeds contain approximately 25 g of protein per 100 g. [See the full nutritional profile](/kunskap/hampans-naringsprofil/).\n\n## How much protein do shelled hemp seeds (hemp hearts) have?\n\nShelled hemp seeds contain approximately 31 g of protein per 100 g — when the fibre-rich hull is removed, protein and fat are concentrated per gram. [Shelled vs unshelled](/kunskap/skalade-vs-oskalade-hampafron/).\n\n| Hemp seed | Protein per 100 g | All 9 essential amino acids |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n | Unshelled | ~25 g | Yes |\n\n | Shelled (hemp hearts) | ~31 g | Yes |\n\n## Does hemp contain all essential amino acids?\n\nYes. Hemp protein contains all nine essential amino acids, including lysine, and is therefore a complete plant-based protein source.\n\n## Are hemp powder and hemp protein the same thing?\n\nNo. Helsama's Premium CBD Hemp is flower powder from the hemp inflorescence, not an isolated protein powder from seeds. [The difference explained](/kunskap/hampaprotein-eller-hampans-blompulver-skillnaden/).\n\n*Source: see [Hemp's nutritional profile](/kunskap/hampans-naringsprofil) for complete values and references.*"
