@ Ruksana, Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, ground into hemp meal, sprouted or made into dried sprout powder. Hemp seeds can also be made into a liquid and used for baking or for beverages such as hemp milk and tisanes. Hemp oil is cold-pressed from the seed and is high in unsaturated fatty acids. For more details please have a look of the attached files.

Thank you for getting back to me, but do you know of any archived evidence proving the uses in food, between the 19th and 20th century. Like recipes, old cookbooks maybe anything along those lines. I need to find evidence for the British FDA, in order to push hemp as a 'novel food' here in the UK. Could you help me?

Take a look at these:
