Little Known Seeds Facts....
Are seeds edible?
There are many seeds that are edible for
human and animal consumption. If you have ever eaten popcorn then
you have eaten a seed that has had its coat split by heat. You
are eating the plant inside. There are also sunflowers and pumpkins
that give off seeds that are consumable.
And if you have ever eaten a bean then
you have ingested a seed. Sometimes the seed is so tiny that you
really do not even notice it such as in the case with a tomato
or a blackberry. Seeds are an excellent source of protein and
are great for any diet as long as you are not allergic to them.
Many seeds are processed into cooking oils,
beverages and even used as feed for livestock or other animals.
The seed is pretty important to everyone’s way of life even if
you do not actively stop and think about it.
