Nutiva Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil

This cold-pressed hemp oil is raw, unrefined and loaded with vitamin E, Omega-3s and Omega-6 EFA's (essential fatty acids) that play a crucial role in brain function and help to fight inflammation. These oils are pressed in small batches maintaining a very high quality product. Nutiva's motto is "to nourishing people and planet." Using hemp oil is a simple way to add the nutritional benefits of hemp (an Omega 3 alternative or adjunct to flax) to your diet. You can use organic hemp oil for delicious salad dressings, sauces, and smoothies, or to pour onto steamed veggies or grains. The flavor is a little overpowering especially when used in salad dressings so mix it with olive oil or another high quality oil to temper the bitterness. It is best to keep hemp oil refrigerated and to use it within 8-12 weeks of opening. We like supporting a company like this one with firm values in organic farming, green energy, and fair trade practices within the global economy. We really wanted to give this product five stars, but had to give them four because of taste. It's not Nutiva's fault. :)
