What is Refined Hemp Hearts Oil?
Refined hemp hearts oil is a premium, golden-colored oil extracted from the nutritious inner core (hemp hearts) of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). Unlike full-spectrum hemp oil, refined hemp hearts oil undergoes a gentle processing method to remove chlorophyll, waxes, and other plant materials, resulting in a light-colored oil with a neutral taste and odor. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid, ALA) and omega-6 (linoleic acid, LA), and contains a well-balanced profile of vitamins and minerals.
Key Features:
- High in Essential Fatty Acids: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 for optimal health benefits.
- Neutral Taste and Odor: Easily incorporated into a variety of formulations without overpowering flavors.
- Excellent Stability: Resistant to oxidation and rancidity, extending shelf life.
- Clean Label Ingredient: Simple, natural ingredient for a consumer-friendly label.
- Rich in Vitamins & Minerals: Contains vitamins E & K, and minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Sustainable Source: Hemp is a fast-growing, environmentally friendly crop.
