This week, we are soft launching 300ml bottles of Organic Hemp Seed Oil from The Hemp Farm who currently import an extremely high-quality oil from Canada while they wait to start production of their own oil from 200 hectares of hemp grown on their farm here in NZ. I love this versatile nutty tasting oil; it’s lovely in green smoothies or mixed into salad dressings instead of Olive Oil (it has 20 times more Omega 3 and half the saturated fat). Although my favourite is drizzled over avocado on Vogels toast topped off with lemon juice, black pepper, and Himalayan salt.
If you are after great health – and who isn’t – the addition of this oil to your daily diet is one of the best things you can do. It has an optimal 3-1 ratio of Omega’s 3, 6 and 9 and if your diet is not overly clean, it’s likely you are getting too much Omega 6 and too little Omega 3, which is one of the most important Omegas. Have a read of this article from Harvard T.H. Chan.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be posting healthy recipe’s that include Hemp Seed Oil so that you have new and inventive ways of using it. To get the health benefits, all you need is one tablespoon a day, but remember not to fry with it as it is cold pressed.
