Hemp seed oil
Hemp seed oil is a plain cold-pressed seed oil with no known histamine content or histamine-triggering properties.
Hemp seed oil is made by cold-pressing hemp seeds — no fermentation, no aging, just extracted fat.
-
Simple extraction process — because it's pressed rather than fermented or chemically processed, there's no step in production that would introduce or generate histamine
-
Stability considerations — like flaxseed oil, hemp seed oil is high in polyunsaturated fats and can go rancid relatively quickly; keeping it refrigerated and using it cold (not for high-heat cooking) helps maintain its quality
It's generally considered one of the easier oils for people navigating histamine sensitivity.
