Srvandztyants' collection Manana describes Armenians eating hemp seeds roasted or boiled, using the oil on fasting days and giving the seed as a remedy for difficulty in speaking. The plant's place in Armenian writing is much older: in the fifth century Yeznik Koghbatsi called the seed a medicine that lessens desire, and in the fifteenth the physician Amasiatsi listed its uses as food and medicine and its dangers. A sweet of hemp seed, aghandz, was served at New Year from the nineteenth century.[1]
