Huoma tang (火麻汤, huǒmá tāng, "hemp soup") is a soup made with hemp seed in Bama Yao Autonomous County, in Guangxi, China. In 2021 the Farmers' Daily named hemp-seed oil, hemp soup and hemp congee (火麻油、火麻汤、火麻粥) as the commonest dishes on Bama tables. It reported that demand for the seed had grown with the visitors who come to the county for its reputation for long life.[1]
A nutrition survey of 50 people aged 90 to 112, published in 1980, found hemp to be the oil crop customarily eaten in the county. The seed was not pressed for oil. It was pounded to a paste and stirred into clear water, the sediment was removed, and the milky liquid was used to cook vegetables. The surveyors identified the seed provisionally as Cannabis sativa.[2]: 384–385 E. Joseph Brand and Zhao Zhongzhen mention hemp seed's reputation as a "longevity" food in Bama.[3]
