Hemp seed oil is obtained from the seeds of the hemp plant by gentle cold pressing. Hemp seed oil has a nutty, earthy taste reminiscent of walnuts and sunflower seeds and is suitable as an ingredient for salads , smoothies, spreads, dips, or baked goods, for example. It can also be used to fry meat or vegetables.
Hemp seed oil can also be used in the processing industry as a component of cosmetics or as a carrier oil for CBD oil. It is also used, for example, in the production of detergents and soaps.
Types of Hemp Seed Oil
Golden Hemp Seed Oil
The finest oil is the golden hemp seed oil. It is manufactured by pressing only the peeled hemp seeds which yield a clean golden oil that is free of bitter chlorophyll and has a mild and nutty taste.
Green Hemp Seed Oil
The green oil is the result of pressing whole cleaned hemp seeds. It therefore contains chlorophyll from the hemp shells which give the oil a herbal taste. Combined with the fine nutty flavour of the oil from the inner seed, the green oil has a full-bodied herbal and nutty taste.
Deep-Green Hemp Seed Oil
The deep-green oil is the result of pressing the cleaned hemp seeds combined with hemp seed shells. It contains a higher chlorophyll concentration than the other oils which gives the oil a slightly bitter, herbal taste and its deep-green color.
