What is organic hemp seed oil?
Organic Hemp Seed Oils are extracted via mechanical cold-pressing (<45°C) from certified organic Cannabis sativa seeds. Three specialized variants cater to distinct applications:
- Organic Raw Hemp Seed Oil: Unfiltered, retains chlorophyll and phytonutrients.
- Organic Refined Hemp Seed Oil: Neutral flavor, high smoke point.
- Organic Hemp Heart Oil: From hulled seeds – lightest color, mildest taste.
All are non-GMO, gluten-free, and rich in balanced omega fatty acids (3:1 omega-6:3).

FAQs
Q: What is the main difference in flavor and application between your Cold Pressed, Refined, and Hemp Hearts Oils?
A: Cold Pressed has a distinct, rich, nutty, and grassy flavor with a dark green color, ideal for applications where its unique profile is desired (e.g., dressings, smoothies). Refined is neutral in flavor and clear/light yellow, offering versatility in products where hemp flavor isn’t desired (e.g., baked goods, some supplements). Hemp Hearts Oil is the most premium, with an extremely mild, delicate nutty flavor and lighter color, perfect for high-end culinary and cosmetic uses.
Q: Are your Organic Hemp Seed Oils tested for THC and CBD content?
A: Yes, absolutely. All our Organic Hemp Seed Oils are rigorously tested to ensure THC and CBD levels are non-detectable or well below regulatory limits, guaranteeing compliance and safety for all intended applications. Certificates of Analysis are provided with each batch.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities of your hemp seed oils?
A: Our Organic Hemp Seed Oils typically have a shelf life of 12-24 months (depending on the type and packaging) when stored in a cool, dark place (ideally refrigerated for cold pressed and hemp hearts oil), away from direct sunlight and oxygen, in their original sealed containers. Refined oil has better oxidative stability. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Can these oils be used for high-heat cooking?
A: Cold Pressed Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Hearts Oil have a low smoke point and are best used in low-heat or no-heat applications (e.g., dressings, finishing oil) to preserve their delicate nutrients. Refined Hemp Seed Oil has a slightly higher smoke point due to the removal of impurities, making it more suitable for light sautéing, but it’s still generally not recommended for high-heat frying.
Q: Are your hemp seed oils sourced from non-GMO hemp?
A: Yes, all our Organic Hemp Seed Oils are sourced from certified organic hemp seeds, which by definition means they are Non-GMO.
