We weren't exaggerating when we said that hemp seed oil is practically a universal remedy and has plenty of health benefits. But, it is very important to know where your hemp seed oil comes from. In this way, you can make sure quality seeds are used and the oil is extracted in the right manner.

For our Great Pahadi Hemp Seed Oil, we source the seeds from farms in India where we are able to keep an eye on quality. We also use the cold-pressed process to make the oil.

A traditional stone-wooden mill (called Kachi Ghani or Kal Chekku) is used to extract the oil. This is a completely natural process without the use of heat or chemicals, so the plant’s properties remain unchanged.

The hemp seed oil, thus produced, is filled with amazing stuff and has a beautiful nutty flavour.

So, drizzle it on salads and use it in place of olive oil. The very same oil can also be applied on your skin and hair, to help you glow from inside out.
