What is Vitacost Certified Organic Hemp Oil?
Vitacost Certified Organic Hemp Oil is an edible, cold-pressed oil that can be drizzled on vegetables, salads, pasta, rice, cereal and more—or add it to yogurt or smoothies. It may also be taken alone.
Hemp is a plant documented as having been cultivated for thousands of years. It’s widely used today in foods and other commercial products. Hemp oil is comprised of about 80 percent essential fatty acids (EFAs).
How does Vitacost Certified Organic Hemp Oil support health?

Hemp Tofu Breakfast Scramble
There’s a new tofu in town, and it’s made from hemp—not soy. Just like that classic white block that can be sliced, cubed, baked or blended, hemp tofu’s versatility is part of the reason it’s showing up on tables today. Only, unlike the soy variety, it doesn’t contain particular plant compounds that some people prefer to avoid. What you do get are minerals, a balanced ratio of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids and plenty of protein to power up your favorite plant-based dishes. Whip up this veggie-packed breakfast scramble and see for yourself just how easy saying No to soy -- and falling head over heels for hemp -- can be!
