Hemp oil: top omega-3 supplier
Hemp oil is one of the most valuable edible oils in terms of health. It is characterised in particular by its balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids of 3:1. As unsaturated omega-6 fatty acids are more abundant in our diet, we often consume an excess of omega-6 fatty acids. You can balance this out with omega-3-rich products. Hemp oil, with its comparatively high proportion of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, is the right choice.
Your source of unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants: fresh hemp oil from Keimling Naturkost
Hemp oil is a particularly good source of unsaturated fatty acids. The valuable edible oil consists of almost 60 % linoleic acid and almost 20 % alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Both contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels**.
**This positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 10 g linoleic acid or 2 g ALA.
Hemp oil also supplements your diet with a large amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to be an antioxidant and helps to protect cells from oxidative stress. Hemp oil therefore has a positive effect on your well-being and, with its valuable ingredients, is an excellent addition to raw food cuisine.

Ancient cultivated plant rediscovered: Hemp
The unpeeled, unroasted, raw edible hemp seeds are pressed. Keimling Hemp oil is not only a high-quality cold-pressed oil - the seeds used have also never been exposed to temperatures above 45 °C. I pay particular attention to this when selecting the raw ingredients. A thoroughly raw and delicious treat!
Edible hemp is a very old cultivated plant that has now been rediscovered. This hemp plant does not contain any significant amounts of THC and is therefore not intoxicating. The health benefits of hemp are remarkable. The gentle cold pressing of the hemp seeds at a maximum temperature of 39 °C preserves the majority of the beneficial ingredients of the raw hemp seeds. In addition, the dark bottle protects the sensitive product from harmful sunlight.
Hemp has been cultivated as a useful plant for thousands of years. Hemp once played a major role as a raw material for clothing and also as a foodstuff. The hemp plant has been cultivated in this country again since the mid-1990s and is enjoying growing popularity.
Our hemp oil recommendation:
Hemp oil should not be exposed to temperatures above 165°C, as this damages the valuable fatty acids and also the unique flavour. To fully utilise the benefits of hemp oil's ingredients, I recommend using it in cold dishes. For example, for sauces, dressings, marinades or spreads. Its flavour is nutty to herbaceous and very pleasant.
My hemp oil is not filtered, so valuable lees settle to the bottom. This is a quality feature and a sign of the high level of naturalness. Please shake the oil before use.
