Organic hemp seed oil is made from whole organic hemp seed or dehulled hemp seed hearts. Usually, the organic hemp seed oil is made from whole hemp seed, and the appearance is dark green.
This type of oil is popular in the market and can be processed by most manufacturers, including those in Europe, the United States, Canada, China, Australia, and New Zealand. It has a strong taste. The by-product of the green hemp seed oil is a green or brown hemp protein powder with a protein content of about 50%. It tastes rough and is not water-soluble. If doing a nutrition formula product, the effect is not good.
Another kind of organic hemp oil is made from organic dehulled hemp seeds and is light yellow in color with a nutty taste. This is the purest hemp oil. As we all know, the shell of hemp is oil-free, and the main oil comes from the hemp seed kernel inside. The yellow hemp seed oil is relatively new on the market, but it contains an ideal 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. The by-product of the yellow seed oil is a white hemp protein powder, with a protein content of up to 80%. It is a very high-quality plant protein powder, with a very good taste and good water solubility. It is widely used in vegetarian meat and sports nutrition supplements. The main producer of yellow hemp seed oil and high content white hemp protein is China, especially the organic high content hemp protein powder.
Why is there a high percentage of green hemp oil and a low percentage of yellow hemp oil? Let’s simply explain its technology. The process is cold pressing and is a physical pure press process. It can retain the nutrients of hemp oil to the maximum extent. At the beginning of hemp oil processing, manufacturers did not use shell equipment, directly with the whole hemp seed cold press processing hemp oil. This process prevailed for a long time, which is the main reason why green hemp oil occupies a major market share today. Another sensory reason: people think green is healthy.

According to the World Health Organisation, the optimal ratio of omega-6: to omega3 is between 2:1 and 3:1, which is good for health and does not make people obese, which is probably why hemp oil has become so popular in recent years.
