Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp Seed Oil is often touted as a ‘miracle food’. The undisputed truth is that this unique oil contains more than 75 percent polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA’s). Featuring a composition of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) – LA (Omega 6) and ALA (Omega 3) in a 3:1 ratio. It also contains smaller amounts of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), and Stearidonic Acid (SDA), which are biological metabolites of the Omega 6 and Omega 3 EFAs respectively. It also has a low proportion of saturated and trans-fatty acids compared to the total fat content.
Hemp Seed Oil has a delicate, nutty flavour that is suited to a variety of recipes including pesto’s, marinades, and salad dressings. Bulk Hemp Seed Oil is also a common ingredient in skincare formulas because of its deep penetration and ability to nourish and moisturise the skin. Care is taken during processing to ensure that the highest quality product is delivered. Hemp seeds are carefully selected and then Cold Pressed with minimal exposure to heat, light and oxygen to ensure that the flavour, aroma and nutritional value is maximised.

What is the difference between hemp oil and hemp seed oil?
Hemp seed oil and hemp oil can be used interchangeably. However, hemp oil also refers to full-spectrum oil from the Cannabis stevia plant, which can include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive component of Cannabis. Alternatively, hemp seed oil is produced from the seed of the Hemp plant which has been specifically bred to contain almost no THC. It is important to take great care to identify the origins of hemp oil. Current legislation prevents New Zealand grown hemp seeds from containing more than 10mg per kg of THC and 75mg of CBD in New Zealand.
Is hemp seed better than CBD?
Hemp seed oil is widely consumed for its essential fatty acids. It includes Omega 6’s Linoleic Acid and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), and Omega 3’s Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3) and Stearidonic Acid (SDA). These nutrients are vital components which are considered an essential part of a balanced diet. They must be consumed as they cannot be created by the body alone. CBD on the other hand stands for cannabidiol. Often people assume CBD stands for cannabis. This however is not the case. CBD is one of many cannabinoids found in cannabis. Cannabis grown to generate high levels of CBD for CBD oil is used for medicinal purposes and differs from Hemp seed grown with low THC for industrial use and food consumption.
