The Flow of Oil

Abstract

Abstract Hemp seed oil has been used for millennia. It comprises about 30 percent of the weight of the hemp seed, which has been used as a food as well. Recent research has proven that the seed contains essential fatty acids and has been widely accepted in the medical community. Sales of seeds, seed products and oil have boomed in the last ten years, and countries where hemp farming is legal have found a new industry, which is constantly increasing. Not only is the oil edible, but it can be used in paints, lubricants and fuel. Oil for human consumption is the main use at present, and most likely will continue to be in the foreseeable future.
