Down in Devon, presumably behind high fences, they grow the plants from which they get the seeds to cold-press into oil. Two enterprising people, Braham and Murray, make it and are evangelists for the benefits of Hemp Oil which in a nutshell are:
- higher content of Omega 3, 6, and 9 than any other oil
- half the saturated fat of olive oil
- contains ZERO trans fats
- 10 ml of Good Oil contains as much GLA as 6 Evening Primrose capsules
- effective in treating ADHD, cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis
- good for hair and skin, cholesterol, immune system and joints.
The makers and Hugh Fearnley-Whatsisname say its great to make roast potatoes with but I couldn’t get a result. I even tried a side by side Sunday test cooking some spuds in light Good Oil and others in good old vegetable oil but the Good ones came out less than crispy and with a rather odd taste. Maybe I should have used the heavier version of the oil?
Anyway, this is Good Stuff and I’m using it instead of olive oil on a lot of things. It’s another storecupboard regular now and I recommend you give the Good Oil a go.
