Edited response:

Meat is superior to hemp for protein, but you can eat it if you like.

It Starts With Food recommends avoiding chia seeds (page 104) based on their having similar health effects as grains.

Tom, Really? I was certain hemp was not allowed during a whole 30.--maybe there would be an exception for vegetarians, but for omnivores I wouldn't include it.

We don't want people using hemp protein powder during a Whole30 because powder is not real food and it is processed. Hemp hearts is the actual plant flesh, however, so I don't see why someone could not eat them if they wanted.

I like to sprinkle hemp hearts over salad or cooked vegetables, like yams, to give them a bit of "punch" in terms of adding a bit more nutrition and satiety.  I use them instead of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds on salads.  I'm glad to learn they are compliant on Whole30.
