What is the difference between this hemp seed oil and essential oils?

"ORIGINAL ALTAY" Kanepiõli 250 ml
Question about the product "ORIGINAL ALTAY" Kanepiõli 250 ml €16.05 Go to product

It is important to distinguish ORIGINAL ALTAY Kanepiõli from essential oils. This product is a food oil pressed from hemp seeds (Cannabis Sativa), not from the aromatic parts of the plant like flowers or leaves. Because it is derived from seeds, it is used as a culinary ingredient for its taste and fatty acid profile, rather than for aromatherapy or topical application as an essential oil might be.

Hemp seed oil has a long history as a traditional food ingredient in various regions, appreciated for its nourishing properties. It is valued for its naturally occurring unsaturated fats, which contribute to its smooth texture and make it suitable for enriching cold dishes. The mild nutty taste is characteristic of seed oils and is distinct from the potent, concentrated scents found in essential oils.

Always ensure you are using food-grade oils for consumption. This product is intended for kitchen use, such as in salads, dips, and as a finishing touch for cooked meals. If you are looking for essential oils for other purposes, this specific product is not the correct choice. For those with individual sensitivities to hemp seed products, caution is advised when introducing it into your diet.
