About Hemp Oil
Gleaned from the seeds of the hemp plant, hemp oil is a type of vegetable oil that you can use for cooking and preparing foods. It is a non-drug form of the hemp plant, unlike marijuana, which is also from the hemp plant. The oil is low in saturated fat and supplies certain nutrients. It also may have health benefits, making it worth adding to your healthy eating plan.
Hemp oil contains all of the essential amino acids, according to a 2000 article published in the "Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional and Medicinal Foods." Essential amino acids help maintain the proteins in your body, which can prevent muscle loss. Hemp oil delivers small amounts of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, folate and vitamins B-6 and E.
Hemp Seeds are a gift of nature. They are the most nutritious seed in the world. Hemp Seeds are a complete protein. They have the most concentrated balance of proteins, essential fats, vitamins and enzymes combined with a relative absence of sugar, starches and saturated fats. Hemp Seeds are one of nature's perfect foods - a Super Food. This is one of the most potent foods available, supporting optimal health and well being, for life. Raw hemp provides a broad spectrum of health benefits, including: weight loss, increased and sustained energy, rapid recovery from disease or injury, reduced inflammation, improvement in circulation and immune system as well as natural blood sugar control.
The oil contains sitosterol, which can help lower cholesterol. It also contains tocopherols, which have antioxidant properties to help prevent your cells from damage, and anticancer agents, according to the "Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional and Medicinal Foods." Hemp oil also contains a 3-to-1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids, which can help lower your risk of cancer, inflammation and blood clots, the "Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional and Medicinal Foods" reports. Fatty acids also promote normal brain function.
The oil has a nutty flavor that will enhance many recipes. Use it in most foods or recipes that you would normally use olive oil for. However, hemp oil loses quality and flavor if it's heated to temperatures above 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's not appropriate for frying foods.
