FAQs
Q: Can I cook with Organic Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil?
A: Organic Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil has a low smoke point and is best used as a finishing oil or in raw applications like dressings and smoothies to preserve its delicate nutrients.
Q: What’s the best way to store Organic Hemp Seed Oil?
A: All Organic Hemp Seed Oil types should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct light and heat. Refrigeration is recommended after opening to extend freshness, especially for cold-pressed varieties.
Q: Is there a difference in nutritional content between the three oils?
A: While all contain essential fatty acids, Organic Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil retains the most vibrant profile of chlorophyll and other plant compounds. Refined Hemp Seed Oil has some nutrients removed during processing, while Organic Hemp Hearts Oil offers a slightly different balance due to being pressed from hulled seeds.
Q: Can Organic Hemp Seed Oil be used topically for skin or hair?
A: Absolutely! All our Organic Hemp Seed Oil varieties are excellent for topical use. Refined Hemp Seed Oil is often preferred for skincare due to its neutral scent and lighter feel, but cold-pressed and hemp hearts oil can also offer nourishing benefits.
Q: Is Organic Hemp Seed Oil the same as CBD oil?
A: No, Organic Hemp Seed Oil is pressed from the seeds of the hemp plant and primarily contains essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. CBD oil (cannabidiol oil) is extracted from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant and contains cannabinoids. They are distinct products with different primary benefits.
