Product information "Organic hemp oil from Austria"
Organic hemp oil - rich in valuable omega-3 fatty acids
The hemp plant produces oily seeds that contain between 25 - 35% oil by weight, which is rich in essential fatty acids (EFA). EFS are fatty acids that humans cannot produce themselves and are dependent on their intake through food.
Why consume hemp oil?
Hemp oil is an excellent food for the supply of EFS, with linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. These fatty acids are required for the production of numerous hormones and for cell renewal. Fatty acids support the functions of the human body to maintain health and contribute to the normal development and growth of the organism. Omega-3 fatty acids are incorporated into the cell membrane and are necessary for its structure and function. Omega-3 fatty acids have an influence on blood lipid regulation. They contribute to health as part of a balanced diet.
Hemp oil in comparison with similar products
Hemp has an optimal functional ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for humans, which is considered to be 4:1. Hardly any other plant food source contains the essential fatty acids (EFAs) in such an ideal ratio for the human organism!
Although hemp oil is more expensive than hemp seeds, the EFS in the oil are more readily available and easier for the body to metabolise. Since EFS are so important for our nutrition, since most people's bodies do not function optimally and since hemp is such a product rich in vital substances, we think it is a good idea to have both oil and seeds in your daily diet.
Hemp oil for skin care
The oil can also be used externally for skin care, even if the skin is in poor condition, as it is easily absorbed and moisturising.
What makes our cold-pressed organic hemp oil special?
Most oils sold in supermarkets are extracted at excessively high temperatures and with solvents and then refined. The oils lack the beneficial properties and contain harmful trans fatty acids as a result of the hydrogenation process.
Our hemp oil is gently cold-pressed in Austria from local organic hemp seeds, filled into dark-coloured bottles, sealed and stored in a cool place to preserve the oil's impressive nutritional properties.
1 litre of hemp oil is obtained from 5kg of unpeeled hemp seeds. It has a beautiful green-yellow colour and a nutty, slightly grassy flavour.
Please note that oils should be pressed at minimum heat, as the higher the temperature, the faster the oil is destroyed by light, oxygen and other chemical reactions. A change in the fatty acid molecules due to the effect of heat also impairs the nutritional value and biological value of the oil.
Use of organic hemp oil in everyday life
It is not suitable for frying and should only be used in its raw state.
Hemp oil adds a flavourful note to salad dressings, marinades, mayonnaises, dips and spreads. It can be used instead of or together with olive, walnut and safflower oil.
The intake for a person with an average build/body fat profile can be 1-3 tablespoons (up to 50ml) per day.
