What is Hemp?
Hemp seed oil comes from, you guessed it, hemp. It does not contain any detectable delta-9-tetrahydrocannabolinol (THC).
Hemp seed oil originally came from Canada but is now grown throughout the world. It is considered one of the most nutritional oils available.
The green color in hemp seed oil is a result of the high level of chlorophyll that is naturally present in the seeds.
