The tiny nut is an exceptionally good source of nutrition. The food-quality of hempseed oil tastes and smells delicious, and it is extremely rich in lipid nutrients.

Hempseed and hempseed meal are excellent sources of digestible protein. Hempseed is an incredibly rich source of beneficial dietary components. The primary non-food industrial use for hempseed oil originates from its high level of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), which readily polymerize upon exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Such drying oils are useful for the production of paints, varnishes, sealants, and such durable goods as floor coverings, and other bio-plastics. |
