Hemp Seed Oil 250 ml - Original Altay

What it is

ORIGINAL ALTAY Kanepiõli 250 ml by Organic Altay is cold-use hemp seed oil for the kitchen. People usually choose hemp oil when they want a plant oil with a distinctive mild nutty taste and a different fatty acid profile from olive or sunflower oil. It works especially well in salads, grain bowls, vegetable dishes, dips and other ready meals where the flavour of the oil stays noticeable.

Hemp seed oil is valued mainly for its naturally occurring unsaturated fats. These fats help give the oil its smooth texture and make it a good finishing ingredient for cold dishes. Because the oil is pressed from seeds rather than the aromatic parts of the plant, it is used as a food oil, not as an essential oil. In practical terms, this product is less about frying and more about enriching meals after cooking: a spoonful can round out the taste of steamed vegetables, legumes or porridge, and it blends well into homemade dressings and sauces.

The raw material

What makes this type of oil interesting is the raw material itself. Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil has a long history as a traditional food ingredient in different regions, where hemp seeds were appreciated as a nourishing crop. In a modern diet, hemp oil is often chosen by people looking for:

• variety in plant-based eating;
• seed oils with character;
• a way to rotate culinary fats instead of relying on one option only.

The 250 ml bottle is convenient if you use oils in small amounts and prefer to open a fresher bottle more often.

How to use it

To get the best from Organic Altay hemp seed oil, use it in cold or only lightly warmed meals rather than for high-heat cooking. That helps preserve its taste and the qualities that make hemp seed oil appealing in the first place. Good ways to use it include:

• drizzling a spoonful over steamed vegetables, legumes or porridge;
• blending it into homemade dressings and sauces;
• finishing salads, grain bowls and dips where the flavour stays noticeable.

Good to know

If you are trying it for the first time, start with a small amount to see how you like the flavour. If you have individual sensitivity to hemp seed products, use caution.
