Hemp oil - the superfood
Hemp oil is a particularly high-quality oil with a fine, nutty flavor. It proves its status as a superfood through the optimal ratio of the vital omega 3 – omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acid structures.
Use of hemp oil
Hemp seed or hemp nut oil can be used like any other cold-pressed oil. Due to its fine, nutty flavor, however, it goes particularly well with cold dishes and is recommended for refining salads and sauces. Cooked dishes are also given the finishing touch with hemp oil.
Recommended intake for humans:
1–2 tablespoons of Kröpfel hemp oil from sustainable production daily
Note:
Hemp oil is not suitable for frying, as heating it to temperatures of 165 degrees or higher damages the essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
What is hemp oil used for?
The industrial hemp plants that are approved in the EU do not contain any psychoactive tetrahydracannabiol, or THC for short.
e.g.,
An excess of linoleic acid promotes inflammatory processes, on the one hand, through the excessive production of pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid and, on the other hand, by inhibiting the production of anti-inflammatory fatty acids.
The optimum fatty acid ratio for humans should be around 3:1. An oil would therefore be perfect if it contained only 3 times as many omega-6 fatty acids as omega-3 fatty acids. Hemp oil is this perfect oil.

Omega 3 + Omega 6 + Omega 9
Hemp oil has the optimal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids—and can therefore help counteract inflammatory processes in the body.
But hemp oil doesn’t just provide important fatty acids. It also contains high levels of vitamins, proteins, and amino acids. For example, this plant oil contains all eight essential amino acids that the body must obtain from food.
In addition, the globulin protein edestin is present in the oil. The human body can use these hemp proteins to build immunoglobulins, without which the immune system cannot function.
Hemp oil is also valued for its anti-inflammatory gamma-linolenic acid and is used as medicinal skin care for neurodermatitis or psoriasis, for example.
This greenish-golden oil strengthens the immune system, optimizes brain and nerve functions and regenerates or repairs the body’s own cells.

What is hemp oil?
Hemp oil, also known as hemp seed oil, is an edible oil obtained from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Unlike some other oils made from the hemp plant, hemp seed oil contains neither tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) nor cannabidiol (CBD). THC and CBD are the most well-known cannabinoids found in some varieties of the cannabis plant and are known for their psychoactive or medicinal properties.
Hemp seed oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds, using only those seeds that do not contain cannabinoids such as THC or CBD. The oil has a nutty taste and a greenish color.
The composition of hemp oil is nutritionally remarkable as it has a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for the human body. These fatty acids are contained in hemp oil in an optimal ratio that is beneficial for human nutrition. It is also a good source of vitamin E and antioxidants.
Hemp seed oil can be used as an edible oil, for cooking, frying or in salad dressings and marinades. It can also be found in skin care products as it moisturizes the skin and improves its elasticity.
It is important to note that hemp seed oil should not be confused with CBD oil or hemp oil used for therapeutic purposes, as these products come from different parts of the plant and have different properties and uses.

Is hemp oil the same as CBD oil?
