There is something deeply comforting about a jar of nut butter. The creamy weight of it, the rich smell, the way it turns a simple piece of bread into something that feels like a meal. Now imagine that same comfort — but rooted in something older, richer, and far more nourishing for your body.

That is what our hemp peanut spread is. A coming together of two Earth-given ingredients — hemp, grown on our own Baltic farm, and slow-roasted peanuts — blended into a spread that feeds you on every level.

Why People Are Looking for a Peanut Butter Replacement

Ordinary peanut butter has earned its place in kitchens around the world, and rightly so. But more and more people are discovering that there is something better — a peanut butter replacement that offers the same satisfying creaminess while bringing a far deeper nutritional story to the table.

Some are looking for more protein. Some want a better omega fatty acid balance. Some are simply curious about hemp and what it can do. All of them end up in the same place: wanting something that feels good, tastes good, and comes from somewhere good.

Hemp peanut spread answers all three.

What Makes Hemp Different from Regular Nut Butters

Hemp seeds are one of nature’s most complete foods. When blended into a spread alongside peanuts, they bring something no ordinary nut butter can offer:

• Complete plant protein — Hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids. Combined with peanuts (which are rich in protein themselves), this spread delivers a genuinely exceptional amino acid profile.
• Omega-3 and omega-6 in ideal balance — Hemp provides these essential fatty acids in a near-perfect 3:1 ratio, something most nut butters simply cannot match.
• Magnesium, zinc, and iron — Minerals that support energy, immunity, and everyday vitality, present in meaningful amounts.
• A flavour that surprises — Hemp seeds carry a subtle earthiness and nuttiness that deepens the flavour of the peanuts rather than competing with them. The result is richer and more complex than peanut butter alone.

Hemp Peanut Spread vs Peanut Butter: A Quiet Revolution

Peanut butter is familiar. Hemp peanut spread is better acquainted with your body.

Where standard peanut butter offers one kind of fat (mostly monounsaturated), hemp peanut spread adds the omega-3s your brain and heart genuinely crave. Where peanut butter gives you a solid but incomplete protein, hemp fills the gaps. And where most commercial peanut butters carry additives, emulsifiers, and stabilisers, ours is exactly what it says — hemp, peanuts, and nothing that doesn’t belong.

This is a peanut butter replacement in the truest sense: not a compromise, but an upgrade.

Grown Where the Land Remembers

Our hemp comes from Baltic Shamans Farm — the same land where we keep bees, cultivate mushrooms, and gather wild herbs. Hemp has been part of Baltic culture for thousands of years, woven into the fabric of daily life long before “superfood” became a word anyone used.

When we blend it into this spread, we are doing something our ancestors would have understood immediately: taking what the land gives and turning it into something that sustains and nourishes the people who eat it.

No shortcuts. No industrial processes. Just real ingredients, honestly made.

How to Use Hemp Peanut Spread Every Day

Its versatility is one of its great gifts:

On toast or bread — The obvious choice, and never the wrong one. A generous spread on sourdough or rye is one of life’s quiet pleasures.

Stirred into porridge — A spoonful folded into warm oats adds creaminess, protein, and that subtle earthy depth that makes breakfast feel like a ritual rather than a chore.

In smoothies — Blend with banana, oat milk, a pinch of cinnamon, and a few shelled hemp seeds for a breakfast that carries you through the morning.

As a dip — Celery, apple slices, rice cakes, carrot sticks — hemp peanut spread turns any snack into something worth sitting down for.

In baking — Stir into cookie dough, brownie batter, or energy balls. It behaves exactly as peanut butter does in recipes, only with considerably more to offer.

Straight from the jar — We won’t judge. In fact, we encourage it.

A Spread With a Soul

Most food just fills you. This spread nourishes you — and connects you, however quietly, to a tradition of living well from the land.

At Baltic Shamans, we believe that what you eat is part of how you move through the world. The ingredients you choose carry stories: of soil, of seasons, of the people who tended the fields before the harvest came. Our hemp peanut spread is not just a peanut butter alternative — it is an invitation to eat with more intention, more curiosity, and more connection to where your food comes from.

Ready to make the switch? Our hemp peanut spread (180g) is available now in the Baltic Shamans online shop — a small jar of something genuinely extraordinary, waiting to find its place in your kitchen.

Somewhere between the quiet fields of the Baltic countryside and your kitchen table, something sacred is growing. Hemp — one of humanity’s oldest cultivated plants — is coming home, and its tiny, golden, shelled seeds carry more nourishment than most modern foods could dream of.

At Baltic Shamans Farm, we grow our own hemp with deep respect for the land and the traditions of the people who have tended it for generations. Our premium shelled hemp seeds are more than a superfood — they are a living connection to Mother Earth, offered to you in their purest, most ready-to-eat form.

What Are Shelled Hemp Seeds?

Shelled hemp seeds — also called hulled hemp seeds or hemp hearts — are hemp seeds with their outer shell removed, leaving behind a soft, creamy kernel with a subtly nutty flavour. They require no preparation, no soaking, no cooking. Just open the bag and let them into your life.

Unlike whole (unshelled) hemp seeds, which still carry their fibrous husk, hulled hemp seeds absorb and digest more easily, making their extraordinary nutritional content immediately available to your body.

A Nutritional Profile That Speaks for Itself

These small seeds hold a remarkable depth of nourishment:

• Complete protein — Hemp seeds contain all nine essential amino acids, making them one of the very few plant-based complete proteins. Around 30g of shelled hemp seeds delivers roughly 10g of protein.
• Perfect omega balance — They offer omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in an ideal 3:1 ratio, supporting heart health, brain function, and inflammation balance.
• Rich in minerals — Magnesium, zinc, iron, and phosphorus are all present in meaningful amounts.
• Gentle on digestion — Without the shell, hemp hearts are soft and easy on the gut, suitable even for those with sensitive digestive systems.
• Naturally free from common allergens — No gluten, no dairy, no soy.

Hemp Seeds vs Hemp Hearts: What’s the Difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably, and rightly so — hemp hearts are shelled hemp seeds. “Hemp hearts” simply emphasises the soft inner kernel that remains once the outer husk is removed. If you have been wondering about hemp seeds vs hemp hearts, now you know: same seed, same soul, different name.

Unshelled hemp seeds (with the hull intact) are also wonderfully nutritious, but the hull adds fibre and a chewier texture, and can reduce mineral absorption slightly. For everyday use — stirred into yoghurt, blended into smoothies, scattered over salads — hulled hemp seeds are the most versatile and gentle choice.

How to Use Shelled Hemp Seeds Every Day

The beauty of hemp hearts is how effortlessly they weave into your daily rituals:

Morning — Stir a tablespoon into porridge or overnight oats. Blend into your morning smoothie for a protein boost that sustains you for hours.

Midday — Scatter over a grain bowl, a green salad, or roasted vegetables. Their nutty flavour complements almost everything.

Afternoon — Mix into homemade energy balls with dates, cacao, and a pinch of sea salt for a grounding, nourishing snack.

Evening — Sprinkle over soups or stir into pesto for a quiet nutritional upgrade that no one will even notice — until they ask for your recipe.

Baking — Add to bread, muffins, granola, or crackers. Hemp seeds hold up beautifully in low-to-medium heat.

Grown on Our Own Land

What makes our shelled hemp seeds different is where they come from. Baltic Shamans Farm is not a supplier catalogue — it is a living farm where we grow hemp alongside bees, mushrooms, and wild herbs, tending the land with the same reverence our ancestors brought to it. From seed to shelf, we know exactly what has gone into your bag.

No pesticides. No shortcuts. Just clean, honest, Earth-given nourishment.

Rooted in Baltic Tradition

Hemp has been part of Baltic life for thousands of years — woven into cloth, pressed into oil, ground into food. When you bring our shelled hemp seeds into your home, you are not just choosing a superfood. You are touching something older and wiser than modern nutrition science — a seed that has fed and clothed people across centuries, quietly tending to the human body with everything it needs.

We think that is worth honouring.
