Hemp Oil

To obtain hemp oil for use as a food, hemp seeds are cold pressed in an oxygen free
environment. It should then be bottled in a light-proof container, flushed with nitrogen
and refrigerated to protect the delicate oils from oxidization. This will ensure that your oil
is as fresh as can possibly be.

Hemp Oil has the amazing properties listed below:

Is one of the lowest in saturated fats, only eight percent of total oil volume.
Has the highest level of Essential Fatty Acids of any plant.
Contains Gamma Linolenic acid, a rare oil that is highly beneficial for human growth and
development.
Is best taken internally but you may also obtain the benefits from hemp seed oil by
using it on your skin.
Has anti aging properties and can be used with other oils, such as sweet almond and
jojoba oils, to make excellent massage oil.

Australian law prohibits the sale of hemp products as a food. Current legislation is not
only out dated, it has been held in place due to the lack of knowledge and fear that to
legalize hemp foods would be sending out a mixed message and would create policing
issues. That was six years ago. However, in late 2009, an application was again
submitted and will be decided on in October 2011. Lets us hope that the politicians who
make this decision are not afraid to help Australia become the last western country in
the world to allow hemp as a food.
