Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil

Cannabis sativa

Hemp hemp, hooray! Cold pressed hemp seed oil is obtained from the seeds of the cannabis sativa plant. Hemp seeds are naturally rich in nutrients and fatty acids, but notably do not contain either cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), regulated compounds which can be present in the plant once grown. 

Hemp has been used since ancient times in Egypt, China and India to help with digestive problems, to balance hormones, for rheumatism, and to promote hair growth. Hemp seeds, oil and butter are commonly used today in cooking and preparation of food, as it is full of omegas, magnesium and other essential minerals.

What does cold pressed mean?

Cold pressing is a way of extracting natural oils from an ingredient with minimal heat. It involves pressing the ingredient using a mechanical press.

It is a slow but effective method of extraction that is particularly useful for things like nuts, seeds and vegetables because it helps the oil to retain a higher concentration of its natural benefits.
