Food

"Hemp Seed contains all the Essential Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids necessary to maintain healthy human life.  No other single plant source provides complete protein in such easily digestible form nor has the oils essential to life in as perfect a ratio for human health and vitality." Hemp Seed has the highest Essential Fatty Acid ( EFA's ) content of any single plant, whilst at the same time the oil volume of the seed has amongst the lowest comparable Saturated Fats content.  In fact, no other single plant source can provide complete protein in such an easily digestible form, or contains the oils essential to human life in such a perfect ratio ( essential for building a strong immune system and to maintain health and vitality ). Hemp Seed can be lightly toasted under a grill, or oven baked, to give a delicious snack very similar in taste to popcorn ( in Chinese cinemas, toasted Hemp Seed is eaten in this way ). A nutritious milk can be extracted and in the future a textured vegetable protein could be developed. Unlike soybean, Hemp seed have not been genetically modified and are produced without the need for pesticides or herbicides. The seed is a tasty ingredient for baked foods such as biscuits and flapjacks, breads and cakes and is also delicious fresh, either by itself, or as an addition to soups, curries, pasta, spreads, hummus and salads (delicious toasted !).

The Seeds from which the oil is pressed is organically grown from non-GMO (Genetically Modified) seeds and are not irradiated before pressing. The seeds are cold-pressed in a temperature controlled environment and is immediately nitrogen capped. A sample per batch is sent to SGS – the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company - to verify the freshness and viability of the oil properties as well as verify the levels of THC. When decanting Hemptons takes every precaution to ensure that the oil's unique nutritional properties are preserved by again packaging the Hemp Seed Oil in a temperature controlled environment, devoid of direct sun light. Food Grade Oil Hemp Seed Oil has a pleasant nutty flavour and is used much like Olive-, Walnut or Sesame Oils in the preparation of dishes. It is only ever used cold to drizzle and/or dip.

Cosmetic Grade Oil

Hemp Seed Oil is an exceptionally rich oil, high in Essential Fatty Acids, Proteins and Amino Acids. Because of these properties, it is used as a base ingredient in a number of skin care products.

Hemptons supplies a number of Cosmetic and Soap manufacturers with oil and manufactures its own Body Butters, Soaps, Shower Gels, Shampoos and Conditioners.

Industrial Grade Oil

Industrial Grade Hemp Seed Oil (older oil or non-organically grown oil that is not suitable for nutritional, food and/or cosmetic use) still has very unique properties and was traditionally used in the manufacture of Paints and Varnishes. Linseed has largely taken its place, but Internationally there is a revival in the use of Hemp Seed Oil in these products.  As Hemp Oil has a natural drying agent its use in paints, varnishes and sealants helps render wood highly resistant to water.

A number of smaller, privately owned local manufacturers who have their own laboratories and testing facilities have been incorporating Hemp Seed Oil in their product ranges.

New tests undertaken in European also indicates that Hemp Seed Oil based natural surfactant cleaners work as well or better than those based on other oils. Hemp based products can clean everything from windows and furniture to jet airplane engines. Hemp Seed Oil is also a candidate for many of the industrial applications covered by linseed (flax) oil.
