Hemp oil, sometimes known as hemp seed oil is the most commonly known ingredient made from hemp seed. Hemp oil is cold-pressed from the hemp seed in a natural raw process to carefully produce the highest quality vegetable oil possible.
High in omega-3, omega-6 and omega 9 including GLA (healthy polyunsaturated fats) and low in saturated fats (the nasty fats) hemp oil is the healthiest culinary oil available! With 40% less saturated fat than olive oil, and a superior fatty acid profile to flax seed oil, the choice is easy!
To preserve the delicate nutrient profile of the oil, we do not recommend frying hemp oil. Try it on salads, in dressings, dips and curries or use as a delicious bread dipping oil.
Hemp seed oil contains the ideal 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 (GLA) to Omega-3 (SDA) essential fatty acids which can help the body to metabolise fat, counteract ageing, increase immune system strength, lower cholesterol, and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Hemp Oil Australia, however, is not a cure for cancer.
A recommended daily serving size of our Hemp Seed Oil is 20gm or approximately 1 x metric 20ml tablespoon.
Hemp oil has a pleasant nutty flavor and can be used the same way that you might use olive oil, but it must be used raw or in very low heat (70oC). It can be added to smoothies, shakes, vegetables, pasta, salads, and dressings.
Hemp seed oil is a natural emollient and can be found as an ingredient in many different cosmetic products, such as massage oils, lip balms, soaps, lotions, and hair conditioner. If you have dry and itchy skin, hemp seed oil can be used as a soothing and revitalising moisturiser. The oil has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and has been shown to counteract the ageing process in skin.
