Hemp (from Old English hænep) is the common name for plants of the entire family of Cannabis, although the term is often used to refer only to Cannabis strains cultivated for industrial non-drug use.

Hemp seeds are highly nutritious and contain beneficial omega fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals. The seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, sprouted, made into "milk", prepared as tea, and used in baking
