The hemp oil we are selling has been growing in Canada for over 20 years. It's a huge bamboo, tree like stalk grown in fields like corn or wheat. Hemp is easy to grow and will take over the field requiring very little fertilizer and virtually no pesticides unlike Flax which is the 2nd only to cotton in use of pesticides. Hemp loves this planet and the planet loves hemp. Hemp is an excellent choice for a rotation crop as well as it actually will remove toxins from the soil. For every ton of hemp produced, 1.63 tons of carbon is removed from the air. The seeds are cold pressed to oil, the rest is made into flour or protein powder. CBD oil is also related but grown for a different outcome. It is produced from the flower, smashed down. These plants are smaller and grown specifically for their power of the flower. Marijuana, although distantly related as cannabis, is grown specifically for its THC.

What is Cold Pressing
Ahh, the beauty of cold pressing. Okay, so cold pressing a seed means the seed never reaches 90 degrees. There are no solvents or bleach used in our oil, so after cold pressing there is just pure goodness left with all the benefits it has to offer. Other oils that are not cold pressed reach up to 500 degrees, basically killing any nutrient value it had. Often these oils are then exposed to harsh chemicals such as hexane and preservatives. What you have left is an oil that doesn't smell, doesn't taste, and doesn't digest very well. Our oil is human grade (great for salads), go ahead, smell it, taste it, and enjoy what it can offer. I have heard one client say it smells and taste like fresh mown lawn. An earthy nutty flavor that reminds you its real food, a superfood.
Hemp Seed Oil & Protein Powder
Hemp seed products are made from the seed of the industrial hemp plant. Quality hemp seed oil is dark in color and rich in smell and taste. You will see ours is very dark green and unmistakably hempy, earthy, yummy! The rather delicate since there are no additives or preservatives. Your oil needs to be kept cool and out of sunlight to keep the integrity of the Omegas. This is why your oil will be in a black jug, to protect from sunlight. Freezing temps and refrigeration are recommended for long term holding. Your oil should always be in the shade and under 70 degrees.
