Organic hemp oil - rich in valuable omega-3 fatty acids
Update: The new pressing with a best before date of 30. June 2024 is now available.
The hemp plant produces oleaginous seeds that contain between 25-35% by weight of oil rich in essential fatty acids (EFA). EFA are fatty acids that humans cannot produce themselves and which they depend on through food.
Why consume hemp oil?
Hemp oil is an excellent food for supplying EFA, 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 built into the cell membrane and are necessary for their structure and function. Omega-3 fatty acids have an impact on blood lipid regulation. They make a contribution 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 vegetable food source contains the essential fatty acids (EFA) in such an ideal ratio for the human organism!
While hemp oil is more expensive than hemp seed, the EFAs in the oil are more readily available and metabolized by the body. Because EFAs are so important to our diet, because most people's bodies aren't functioning optimally, and because hemp is such a nutrient-rich product, we think it's a good idea to include 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 provides a lot of moisture.
What makes our cold-pressed organic hemp oil special?
Most oils sold in the supermarket are extracted at too high temperatures and with solvents and then refined. The oils lack the beneficial properties and contain harmful trans fatty acids as a result of hydrogenation.
Our hemp oil is gently cold-pressed in Austria from local organic hemp seeds, filled into dark-tinted bottles, sealed and stored in a cool place to preserve the impressive nutritional properties of the oil.
1 liter of hemp oil is obtained from 5 kg of unpeeled hemp seeds. It has a beautiful green-yellow colour and has a nutty, slightly grassy taste.
Please note that oils should be pressed with minimal heat because the higher the temperature, the faster the oil will be destroyed by light, oxygen and other chemical reactions. A change in the fatty acid molecules caused by heat also affects the nutritional 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 raw.
Hemp oil gives salad dressings, marinades, mayonnaise, dips and spreads a spicy touch. It can be used instead of or in conjunction with olive, walnut and safflower oils.
Intake for a person with average build/body fat profile can be 1-3 tablespoons (up to 50ml) per day.
