Yes. All Green Fox products exceed quality standards and are in compliance with all government regulations.
Industrial hemp is a variety of cannabis, but unlike marijuana, it does not contain the psychoactive compound THC. The stalk of the hemp plant contains fiber and hurd, which can be used in a variety of applications. The seeds can be pressed for oil or hulled to produce hemp hearts, which are edible and often consumed for their nutritional benefits.
No, industrial hemp is not marijuana. Hemp does not produce the psychoactive “high” associated with marijuana. All hemp is tested for THC levels, and it must contain less than 0.3% THC to be legally used. For comparison, marijuana typically contains around 15% THC.
No, you cannot get high from any of Green Fox's hemp-based products. Our industrial hemp is grown in compliance with U.S. government regulations, which require THC levels to remain below 0.3%. This amount is too low to produce any psychoactive effects.
Industrial hemp is extremely beneficial to the planet! Hemp is considered a “carbon sink” and helps reduce greenhouse gases by taking CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in the ground. One acre of hemp absorbs more carbon than one acre of trees.
Hemp hearts are shelled hemp seeds. They have 10g of protein per serving and can be added to many dishes from smoothies to salads. Explore our Recipe Page for creative ways to add hemp hearts to your meals.
Hemp hearts are packed with nutrition. They are high in fiber, iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids and plant protein. Incorporating hemp hearts into your diet can improve heart health, brain function, digestion, and cholesterol levels.
Hemp hurd (or Shiv) is the woody inner core of the hemp stalk. Hurd can be used in a wide range of applications, including animal bedding, construction materials, mulch, textiles, and insulation. Learn more about this versatile product and the various sizes we offer!
Hemp hurd animal bedding significantly outperforms wood shavings. Hemp animal bedding is 2x more absorbent and traps ammonia and waste smells, making it a fresher, more pleasant option for both animals and caretakers. Hemp bedding is low in dust, which supports healthier respiratory systems for both animals and humans. Hemp bedding also lasts longer, saving you time and money over time. And when it’s time to replace the bedding, hemp animal bedding can be composted!
Hemp hurd bedding tends to be more expensive than traditional bedding materials because of the costs involved in growing the hemp and extracting the hurd from the plant. While the upfront cost may be higher, hemp animal bedding is more durable and absorbent, meaning you’ll use less of it compared to wood shavings or straw. This longer-lasting quality helps you save money over time.
Green Fox Hemp Hurd Animal Bedding is ideal for chickens, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, goats, pigs, and even cattle! This eco-friendly bedding will benefit both you and your animals.
Hemp seed oil is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the industrial hemp plant using a mechanical process that does not involve heat or chemicals. This method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients and flavor. Hemp seed oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6, and is often used in cooking, skincare, and dietary supplements. Unlike CBD oil, which is extracted from hemp leaves and flowers, hemp seed oil does not contain THC or CBD.
Yes, hemp seed oil can be used for cooking, but it has a low smoke point (around 330°F or 165°C), meaning it's not ideal for frying or high-heat cooking. Hemp seed oil is best used in salad dressings, dips, smoothies, or as a finishing oil to preserve its nutritional benefits.
Yes, cold-pressed hemp seed oil can be applied topically to moisturize and sooth dry, irritated skin. It’s often used to improve the appearance and health of the skin by supporting hydration and reducing inflammation.
