Hemp Oil as Food

           

When you think of hemp oil you may automatically think about the health benefits involved, and there are many. But above and beyond that, hemp oil has been used as a food source for centuries, and here's why.

It Tastes good

Cold pressed unrefined hemp oil, the best kind to use, has a delectable nutty flavor that most people love. It can be used as an olive oil substitute, with hemp oil and balsamic vinegar as a delightful type of salad dressing.

Just like olive oil, you can dip bread into the oil and eat it "as is" or add a bit of Parmesan and turn your bread slice into Bruschetta. Either way the taste of hemp oil will tickle your taste buds and you'll be coming back for more.

Cooking with Hemp Oil

Because hemp oil is an unrefined oil, meaning it has a low flash point, it should not be used for high temperature frying. But it can be used as a low temperature cooking medium or as a rub with added spices on such things as chicken, fish and veggies.

Additions

The health benefits of hemp oil cannot be overstated, including Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and when added to foods in its most natural and unrefined way that is the best way to use it.

For example, add a tablespoon to your favorite smoothie every day. Use it as the oil for hummus, dips and sandwich spreads. Mix it into sauces for that extra zing, and don't be afraid to use it in cold soups and pesto.

Hemp oil is so versatile that it can be added to virtually anything, from protein shakes to gravy that will add flavor, more body and it will give whatever you are making a big health kick whenever it is served. Learn more about cbd hemp oil come visit us at Highlandpharms.com.
