Hemp oil

tom riordan · Mar 26, 2006

Had a look around sainsburys earlier today, and found myself a 1/2 litre of cold compressed hemp oil for ?6.75, I thought it quite good value so thought I would mention it on here. It goes by the brand name of Good oil and it is kept on the wholefood/natural section of the supermarket. Apologies if it has already been mentioned before. Cheap enough to glug pva bags, refresh boiled hemp and add to boilie mixes.

I used it today with some liqiudised brown bread and sweetcorn works a treat for roach and bream

Paul B · Mar 27, 2006

what domestic use does it have ?

joe pesky · Mar 27, 2006

Its a lot like very good olive oil salads cooking with etc

Keith Robinson 2 · Mar 27, 2006

Beccy, I dont know about the others but I haven't used it in cooking.
Could be something the heathwise people use, but I will find out, love a challenge.
Hang on they might stock it for the anglers!!!.

Beecy, Current update on hemp oil. 1. hemp oil contain the following--
1. omega 3- Alpha Linoleric Acid.
2. omega 6- Linoleric Acid
3. omega 9- gamma Linoleric Acid.
These apparently are what is known as essential oils, that is something that the body requires to be taken within one's diet, as the body has no way of producing them. The commercial capsules sell @ around ?16 per 150 caps., The supermarkets are well cheap. Joe seems to do OK with it, so happy days. I think the salad use is relatively quite new, I had a restaurant some years ago, and I never came across it.

Read all about its culinary/medicinal uses,http://www.goodwebsite.co.uk/
Ed, its grown and produced in Devon, I expect the cia will pick up on the hemp fields by sattelite and start arming the cornish rebels, who will then do night raids to burn down the hemp fields, watch out for air america planes landing at exeter airport.

Just been ASDA today and saw some Olive oil with garlic and one with chillies. Any good for carping...???

Rodney Wrestt · Mar 27, 2006

THe hemp oil is a health suppliment a table spoon a day type thing, it's great for kids as it helps with concentration as mentioned before the Omega 3 content is quite high.

Robert, I picked up a bottle of the chillie enfused oil a few weeks ago, not tried it yet though I was thinking of using it to coat pellets.

NottmDon · Mar 27, 2006

I imagine you could use it Robert but most olive oils start to go solid in the cold so many sunflower oil with your own garlic or chillie granules/flakes added would be a better option for now.

Take a steak and a cooker with you,if you dont cath at least you can have a decent meal

Keith Robinson 2 · Mar 28, 2006

I have been doing my own flavoured " extra" virgin olive oils for a long time, purely from the scoffing point of view.
It never occurred to use them as a fishing additive, I wonder about the chillies a bit though, is it possible they would have the same fiery effect on the fishes lips and barbels as we humans?
Rosemary makes a good infusion, how about fresh rosemary chopped up in the ground bait as an attractor, anyone tried it yet?

joe pesky · Mar 28, 2006

try a frying a egg in hemp oil wouldn`t say its better than olive oil or sunflower but is a differnt taste

NottmDon · Mar 29, 2006

Keith,I recall Archie Braddock making mention of an additive called "zing" or some such name. Apparently it was supposed to be firey so Archie had a taste, indeed it was hotter than the average vindaloo by all accounts.The fish loved it!

For a cracking read I'd suggest you look up his book "Fantastic Feeder Fishing" (if my memory serves me well) one of the forerunners to additives and flavourings in coarse fishing.

Keith Robinson 2 · Mar 29, 2006

Thanks for that Don, I think it's a fact that garlic, chilli, ginger, when cooking have the desired effect on the smell and taste senses, the skimmers on my canal love a taste of curry powder in the ground bait, but I have not taken it any further. I do have Peri Peri, Tabasco, and a bottle of a very fiery West Indian sauce, must give them a try. I have never been one for additives like the lads nowadays, but now I have given up team fishing I shall be able to have a play, if I don't catch then I won't upset anyone.

Rodney Wrestt · Mar 29, 2006

Here's a link to info about The Book Don mentioned.

Price and where to get it.

Sean Meeghan · Mar 29, 2006

Its endorsed by Bob Roberts so not many Barbel Society members will be buying it!

Sorry guys couldn't resist it!!

chubber · Mar 30, 2006

I've just bought it from good old ebay for less than a fiver (signed) I can't put the thing down.
I've just had a look and there are no more on there. But there is his video on baits and flavourings!
