Some general information about Hemp Oil
Hemp Seed Oil is a nutritional wonder. Hemp seed is one third oil by weight. This oil is low in saturated fats, and contains many oils which are good for your body. As a matter of fact, your body needs them to survive, because it can't make them itself. That is why they are called essential fatty acids. The two most important of these oils are Omega-6 (Linoleic acid)or LA and Omega-3 (Alpha Linolenic acid) or LNA.
These oils are missing from most people's diet, so their bodies use saturated fats instead. This is a cause of heart disease, because saturated fats clog arteries. Eating Hemp seed oil restores LA and LNA to your body, reducing your chances of heart attack. The boost which the essential fatty acids give to the immune system has been used to help patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gall stones, kidney degeneration, dry skin, immune deficiency (even AIDS), acne, and menstrual problems.
The fatty acids break down quickly if they are exposed to heat, air, or sunlight, so once the oil has been pressed out of Hempseed, it should be kept cold and used quickly, without too much cooking. Hemp oil tastes `nutty' and Hemp seeds can be crushed into something resembling peanut butter. Richer in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) than flax, evening primrose or any other seed oil, it is being called Natures most perfectly balanced oil.
Hemp oil can also be used to make highly nutritious tofu, butter, cheese, salad oils, and other foods. You will love the pleasant flavor of Hemp Oil. Use it on salads, baked potatoes or vegetables. Layer it into hummus, marinates, tabouli and many butter, cheese, salad oils, and other foods. Its especially great in breads, muffins and other baked wonders, imparting a wholesome, nutty undertone.
Hemp oil simply tastes good. It also offers a number of nutritional advantages over other edible oils. Hemp oil has a very high content of unsaturated fats, perfect for a healthy lifestyle.
