Trader Joe's has a vanilla hemp protein powder I like (milk-based ones mess with my stomach). I couldn't imagine eating the seeds directly, but they go down very easy in a smoothie.

I'm not familiar with any fermentation process that operates on nuts, or any high-fat food source besides soybeans.

There is apparently a semi-standardized process where a hydrated nut butter is fermented with yogurt bacteria for a few days:

I'm not sure if this process has been attempted with hempseeds. It's a fast bacterial process, in contrast with the slow fungal fermentation of dairy cheeses. I wouldn't really say it's a commercial-ready process at this point; I'd like to see something done with proper cheese cultures!
