Hemp seeds are high in GLA a type of fatty acid. (which interestingly is found in very high amounts in breast milk) as well as protein. Here is a link to a site that has a nutritional breakdown:
http://www.earthfriendlygoods.com/pages/NutritionalComposition.php
If you are using whole seeds, either buy them roasted, or roast them in the oven or on the stove yourself. Then use them as you would other nuts/seeds. You can bake them into muffins/bread, top them on your cereal/granola, yogurt, add them into chicken or fruit salad...

Shoot, the stuff grows wild around here! I'm not kidding either! I've been told it isn't quality stuff though. It's more of a nuisance to the farmers. Imagine harvesting wheat and you get a few hemp seeds in with it. That would make some mighty tasty bread!

Isn't hemp what you make ropes out of? Why would you want to eat ropes? I don't get it.

Where do you buy them? I haven't been able to find them in my store. Maybe I can find them at Whole Foods.

umm i wouldnt recommend using hemp seeds like sunflower seeds on your salads. they dont taste too good on their own. turning them into other foods is your best bet.
and thanks to those that posted links. ive been trying to find some helpful resources on the subject myself but everything i come up with is some type of pot brownie. not quite the "nutrional" value i was looking for

Snowball you sound like you know about this subject. Do you eat hemp seeds as a part of your regular diet?? If so, how do you prepare them? I guess you could use them like sunflower seeds and put them in salads or add them to brownies instead of walnuts!

That was very helpful, Vernita! Kraft's lucky to have you looking out for them! Maybe they'll send you one of those calendars as a thank you gift!!

When your words come directly from another source and aren't your original thought you should use quotation marks and attribution. Otherwise it's plagiarism.
You work for Kraft. Why embarass them like this?
Michele and Pam always provide a link to the source (see below). I

Hemp seeds are a terrific source of protein and other nutrients. Hemp devotees claim that the seeds are as versatile as soybeans, and that they can be made into oil, milk, tofu, and many other goods.

I've seen some hemp food products in my regular grocery store. Does anyone know what the health benefits are of eating this?
