Hemp-seed oil

Hemp-seed oil is made from hemp seeds, as the name indicates. These seeds are harvested from the hemp plant and are pressed into oil, both in their peeled and unpeeled form. The oil is known as a great product, because of the high concentrations of unsaturated fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. There are almost no cannabinoids like THC and CBD in the seeds (it is possible that they contain small amounts of CBD).

Hemp-seed oil is mostly used as a nutrient and is legal in most countries. The oil has a pleasant, strong taste. It can be used in different ways, for instance as salad dressing, in smoothies or on a sandwich. The oil can also be used as skincare product, by simply spreading some of the product on the skin, and rubbing it in gently.
