Description

What is Hemp Seed Oil?

Organic Hemp Seed Oil is made by cold pressing the whole hemp seeds. Our products are certified organic and grown as locally as possible, which means they are of a high quality and contain more nutrients. The cold press extracts the oil by pressing the hemp seeds under weight, with no heat added, to preserve all the raw nutrients. This is 100% Organic Hemp Seed Oil, completely pure, natural and full of goodness. It’s a deliciously rich oil, to be frank we pour a little oil over on daily meals to ensure we receive its impressive nutrients and minerals, and because it’s a beautiful oil. It can even be used as a health supplement by taking a teaspoon or tablespoon every day, so gone are the days of cod liver oil tablets!

Organic Hemp Seed Oil specifics:

  • 100% organic, Soil Association Certified
  • Raw and cold pressed
  • The perfect ratio of omegas 3 & 6, with some 9 too!

 Ethics

  • Not-for-Profit, not shareholder pockets, instead you’re supporting UK ecological farmers
  • Made in the UK by our worker’s co-operative, members of Co-op UK
  • Union members of Land Workers Alliance to create a better food and land-use system for everyone
  • We use packaging that has the least impact, please reuse or recycle after use

Responsible packaging

We source packaging that is compostable, biodegradable, reusable or recyclable so that the packaging is just as ecological as the hemp plant itself. Check our Eco Cap options – if you purchase a dropper you could then reuse the pipette made of precious materials, choosing to recycle or reuse the metal lid. Advertised eco and bamboo covered pipettes still have the same lid underneath, so we didn’t go for that.

Hemp Seed Oil for health?

And within that hemp oil… There are so many wonderful things.

Hemp seeds are full of essential fatty acids that are not produced by the body, including omega-6 and omega-3 in the optimal ratio of 3:1. There’s even some omega-9 in there too. Hemp oil actually contains more Omega 3 and 6 than fish oil, so it’s great for those on a vegan diet or anyone who prefers an alternative to cod liver oil, it’s also lower in saturated fat than other plant-based oils.

It’s packed with vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as carotene (an antioxidant). This means it’s as good for the outside of you, as a moisturiser, as it is for the inside of you. It also contains things called phytosterols, phospholipids and minerals including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc and folate. Chlorophyll gives the oil its light green colour, which has been shown to have antioxidant properties.

How do I use it?

This oil has a distinctive rich nutty flavour, perfect on its own in fact! As it’s a raw product with delicate nutrients and minerals, it’s best poured over dishes, or over warm meals. You could replace other cold-pressed oils for Hemp Seed Oil, for salads, over bread, pestos, dips and more. It is not recommended for frying or deep-frying because of its high content of unsaturated fats. Heating the oil above 120 °C will affect all the good things inside it. Hence, why the oil is cold-pressed, raw and extra virgin, to keep hold of all its nutrients by not adding heat, though it is great poured over hot meals. You can also take a teaspoon or two a day for an easy way to get all the nutritional benefits. Those that run marathons say they take a tablespoon a day.

Get Creative!

Find ways to incorporate this oil into your recipes as a flavour enhancer and source of valuable nutrients. Use it in cold sauces add to dips like hummus, use as the main oil in a pesto with herbs or try it in a cold marinade overnight with vegetables. It’s especially rich in salad dressings with mustard and balsamic. Add a splash to boost your smoothies! It’s also a great alternative to olive oil, butter, spreads and fish oils. 

How to store it?

Best stored in the fridge or dark cupboard to ensure the nutrients are preserved, it’s also great to when consumed cold. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Not suitable for infants under 12 months, they’ll just have to be patient.

Hemp Seed Oil or Hemp Oil? What’s the difference?

Hemp Seed Oil is derived from the Whole Hemp Seeds. Often people refer to Hemp Oil as any oil made from the hemp plant, including the flower, which produces CBD products, and also for the Hemp Seed Oil. When looking for a Hemp Seed Oil, just ensure it’s made from Whole Seeds and nothing else. If you’re looking to treat your body to some Cannabinoids, try our CBD products or learn more about what CBD is here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 100+ Cannabinoid compounds present in each hemp plant. There are over 400+ compounds found in hemp plant varieties. CBD Oils have become so excited as they contain a lot of valuable nutrients. Full & Broad Spectrum CBD Oils mean you are gaining all the valuable compounds present and not just isolated CBD.

 

Recent studies have shown that Cannabinoids are naturally created by the human body, we even create CBD, working in harmony with our own internal Endocannabinoid System, close to our Immune and Nervous Systems. In fact, all mammals have an Endocannabinoid System. The function of the Endocannabinoid System is to bring the body into balance, officially called Homeostasis, as it acts as a cell-communication system all over the body. CBD works with our Endocannabinoid System, particularly supporting our stress responses, which are overly stimulated daily. This science is proving why lots of people use plant based CBD strong products to aid overall wellbeing and calming effects. 

 

Plants are here to support us when we need them. CBD products provide a natural and harmonious plant top-up to aid your mind and body, helping your Endocannabinoid System to function well.

 

You can find out more information about CBD here.

What can I use CBD for?

CBD rich products are soothing for the mind, heart, and body, bringing a sense of peace to your daily stress responses.

 

As herbalists, we cannot provide medical advice. Our CBD products promote health, stimulate your own healing, and we can consult when contacted via email at shop@hempen.co.uk or call us O1184 O5OO95.

 

CBD rich products are sold as ‘cosmetics’ and ‘food supplements’ we are restricted by not being able to give any medical advice regarding Cannabinoid benefits. There are many peer-reviewed studies into the myriad of benefits, this includes anxiety, inflammation, and epilepsy – though more research is needed. We recommend doing your own research online, we share some light on what CBD is here.

Do hemp products contain THC? Will it get me high?

Simply put, hemp is a variety of the Cannabis plant that has been bred to have negligible low levels of THC, which is short for Tetrahydrocannabinol, the more psychoactive compound. Hemp cannot get you high.

 

Instead, CBD products made from hemp promote other natural beneficial compounds such as Cannabinoids, one being CBD, that are really good for your health. The flower is pressed or extracted into a valuable CBD rich oil with immunity boosting, and calming properties to name but a few. We also mill the stem into a relaxing tea.

 

Hemp products made from the seeds such as the Whole Hemp Seeds, Hemp Protein Powder and Hemp Oil contain hardly any, trace amounts, of Cannabinoids, however are a superfood in their own right. The mighty seeds contain all the essential amino acids your body needs and does not produce! 

 

UK regulations permit only strains of the Cannabis Sativa plant that are very low in THC (less than 0.01% in products). This means you won’t feel any psychoactive effects, so that means none of our products will get you ‘high’. All our CBD products are independently lab tested to ensure the finest quality and to meet government regulations.

How are Hempen products made?

Hempen is a not-for-profit worker’s co-operative. Our profits are reinvested in our mission, not shareholder pockets, we are led by and owned by our workers.

 

We consult and partner with farmers across the British Isles to increase the cultivation of hemp. Based on the Hardwick Estate, our farm is part laboratory, part community, part homestead, part educational space, part wellbeing hub that continues to evolve and inspire. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Oxfordshire, check out our Hempen Events to visit!

 

Our worker’s co-op produce and innovate organic products from hemp cosmetics and hemp based superfoods, on organic farmland certified by the Soil Association. 

 

Having control over the end-to-end process, from seed to shelf, means we can guarantee unparalleled quality of our products. They’ll always be produced from 100% organic hemp, non-GMO, free of harmful chemicals, heavy metals and synthetic cannabinoids, supporting UK & British Isles farmers.

Are your hemp and CBD products organic, vegan and/or gluten free?

Yes, yes and yes!

All of our food products are certified organic by the Soil Association. We believe food should be organic and nutritious, especially if you’re seeking products to improve your health.

 

Hemp is naturally vegan, we are a vegan brand, so all our products are too. In fact, hemp seeds and hemp oil are packed with essential fatty acids including the ‘golden ratio’ of omega 3,6 & 9 great for brain health, it’s the alternative to consuming fish! We use Hemp Seed Oil in all our CBD products. Hemp Seeds, are also a full protein. As we see it, the growth of hemp supports the growth of the vegan movement.

 

Hemp naturally does not contain gluten, therefore our products are gluten-free! The combine machinery is shared with other plant crops, even though it is cleaned we cannot guarantee use for coeliacs.

Can I come and see your farm?

Absolutely. We welcome volunteers all year round for anything from a day visit to one week with accommodation. Take a look at our volunteering page for more information, and to apply. Please note, we work Monday-Friday. Also check our Hempen Events for a visit!
