Hemp Fiber

Hemp Oil, Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp Seed Oil contains  fatty acids and some of the nutrients but doesn’t contain the same compounds as the plant. These include essential amino acids, omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, Vitamin E, and minerals. Food-grade Hemp Seed Oil contains no THC or only trace levels.
