I have just purchased some hemp oil for the health properties...?

I wanted to know of anyone is using and which food they add to? I know it can be as a salad dressing and you cannot heat it.I have just purchased some hemp oil for the health properties...?
(Just a quick aside to the people who seem to be confused about the difference between hemp oil %26amp; cannabis: Hemp oil is NOT illegal, will not get you high, and is usually produced from special hemp plants bred to contain virtually no THC. So get over the hemp=weed nonsense!!)





You can use hemp oil in any food that isn't too warm, as the heat MAY destroy the beneficial properties (although there is some evidence that hemp oil is more resistant to heat than was previously thought - see sources). You already mention salad dressing; don't forget that salad doesn't have to be lettuce %26amp; other leaves - there are potato salads, bean sprout salads, pasta salads, coleslaw etc, all of which would be great with hemp oil on them. You can drizzle it over warm cooked foods such as pasta, rice or steamed veg, as long as it isn't too hot it should be ok. You can also add a few spoonfuls to things like smoothies to increase the nutritional content.





Alternatively you can just take it like a medicine by the spoonful - just like they used to with cod-liver oil! I actually take it like this myself quite often, as it doesn't taste too bad, but I suppose it is down to personal preference.





There is increasing evidence that you can heat hemp oil, however most of this focuses on whether dangerous trans-fatty acids are produced when it is heated, rather than whether the beneficial fatty acids are destroyed. So I'd say it is better to only use it at low temperatures if you are eating it for the EFAs, unless further evidence is produced specifically showing that heat does not destroy the EFAs.





Another tip - store the oil in the freezer, it will keep much longer, and remains liquid even when frozen. Hemp oil degrades %26amp; many of the beneficial properties are lost if it is stored for too long. Keeping it in the fridge is ok if you are sure you will use it all within a few months. Out of the fridge it will only last around 1 month, and even less if it has been exposed to light for too long.I have just purchased some hemp oil for the health properties...?
You might get arrested. Why buy it if you don't know how to use it? Had you been at the magic mushrooms?

Hemp you say ?! why not sprinkle some Hash - like Bisto - over your dish..it may well make you feel good.
