Hemp seed flour is high in protein and makes one hell of a smooth crepe batter if you don't mind a dull olive tint to the finished crepes. You can also make a beverage from the seeds but I don't know the process for that. Try googling the terms 'hemp seed meal' 'hemp seed flour' 'hemp seed beverage' etc.

Just a few of the many that I found in the last 30 seconds...

Hempseed Cooking Recipes, How to cook with Hempseed!
THC Club - Hemp Seed & Nutrition
Vegetarians in Paradise/Hemp Seeds, Hemp Seed Oil, Hemp Nutrition, Hemp Recipes <- oriented towards bird-watchers but contains lots of info on nutritional properties

Isnt' it GREAT what a simple Google search can do?

These guys give a lot of good information, although it is a commercial site. They are selling hemp oil, but their information is solid.

The last one, you have to wade through to the last few paragraphs where they list plant sources of Omega 3. Hemp seed has more omega 3 than flax or pumpkin seeds and is available in health food stores. I put them in my brownies and they are delicious! OK, that ought to keep you reading for a while! Good luck!- Granny:hippy:

"In late medieval Germany and Italy, hemp was employed in cooked dishes, as filing in pies and tortes, or boiled in a soup." - Taken from Wiki.

As far as I know they were used to decorate certain foods too. You could look into making a one of those type of dishes?
