The benefits and properties oil and  hemp flower are increasingly known in society for the large number of properties it contains and for the good that its daily consumption does as part of a healthy diet.
There are people who still distrust hemp oil because the plant from which it is extracted, or rather, the plant that produces the seeds from which the oil is extracted, is a cannabis or marijuana plant. But, as we have already explained in another post, hemp is quite different from marijuana.
This fact makes people think that its consumption will produce some kind of hallucinogenic effect. Therefore, their consumption is not considered. But what if I told you that hemp seed oil is the best oil that exists in the world , leaving behind extra virgin olive oil and of course sunflower oil. For this reason and to make it clearer to you, we are going to show its properties and benefits of hemp seed oil.
Where is hemp oil extracted from?
Obviously, as its name suggests, it is extracted from seeds from industrial hemp cultivation. It is extracted from completely legal industrial hemp plants suitable for cultivation.
This type of exploitation is possible thanks to the control over the THC levels produced by the hemp plants, which cannot exceed 0.2%. Furthermore, there are only a few varieties accepted for cultivation and subsequent commercialization of the products made with them.
We are going to name a few varieties of industrial hemp suitable for cultivation in the European Union:
Santhica 70: ideal for the extraction of hemp oil
Feline 32: perfect for obtaining CBD flowers
Zenith: ideal for the extraction of hemp oil
Monoecism: complete and ideal for obtaining oil, seeds and fiber
How do you get hemp oil?
To obtain this fantastic and healthy oil, its seeds are simply used, although as you have seen, all varieties of industrial hemp are not used to make oil.
An ideal variety for oil production should be a large seed producer and these seeds should be large in size as it allows them to be able to produce and contain more oil, compared to smaller seed producing plants.
In order to extract the oil, a technique called cold pressing is used , which helps to keep all the properties intact and to take advantage of all the oil that a seed may contain. This type of low-temperature pressing extraction technique is used quite frequently in the food industry.
What benefits and properties does hemp oil provide?
One of the most outstanding benefits of daily consumption of oil from hemp seeds is the decrease in the percentage of being able to suffer from cardiovascular disease. Although it also offers a great preventive effect against the appearance of cancer.
It should also be noted that it has infinite benefits for skin and scalp care. For this reason and thanks to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties, it is a very good option to apply on the skin and hair almost daily.
So that all its benefits can be appreciated much better, we are going to list the most important ones.
