Cold-pressed Hemp Seed Oil in glass – the ideal omega balance
Hemp seed oil is one of the most nutritionally interesting plant oils available, and this 250ml glass bottle presents it in its finest form. Cold-pressing keeps all the oil's delicate fatty acids intact, while the glass bottle protects it from light and avoids any interaction with plastic packaging.
The omega ratio advantage
Hemp seed oil naturally delivers an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of approximately 3:1, close to what nutrition science considers optimal. It also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rarer omega-6 fatty acid recognised for its particular value in a balanced diet.
Flavour and uses
The taste is mildly nutty and earthy — distinctive but not overpowering. Ideal uses include:
- Stirred into morning porridge or smoothies
- As a base for salad dressings or yoghurt-based dips
- Mixed into hummus or other purées
- On bread with avocado and flaky salt
- Drizzled over blended vegetable soups just before serving
Why glass?
Hemp seed oil is sensitive to both light and oxidation. Glass is inert and provides better protection than PET, ensuring the oil retains its flavour and nutritional profile for longer.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place before opening. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use within 4–6 weeks. Do not heat — high temperatures rapidly oxidise the delicate fatty acids.
