Hemp oil in the kitchen: a cooking oil, not CBD
Hemp seed oil and CBD oil are constantly confused. We separate cleanly what the cooking oil is really about.
To the kitchenTwo completely different products
Hemp seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the hemp plant and is a pure cooking oil, nutty in taste and almost free of CBD and THC. CBD oil, by contrast, is an extract containing cannabidiol, a quite different product with its own purpose.
When people speak of hemp oil in cooking, they almost always mean the cooking oil from the seeds.

How to use hemp seed oil
- Balanced fatty-acid profile: it brings omega-3 and omega-6 in a favourable ratio.
- Cold only: over salads, dips, bowls or quark, not suited to frying.
- Nutty taste: strong and slightly grassy, it goes well with savoury dishes.
- Keep it fresh: store cool and dark, buy small, use up promptly.
Said honestly
Hemp seed oil is a fine, balanced cooking oil that has nothing to do with a high or with CBD, and anyone who confuses the two buys past their need. It is food, not a medicine, and we make no healing promises. For CBD the extract is responsible, for the kitchen the seed oil. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
