I bet it tastes nowhere near as good! Anyway, these seeds are for growing, although not in the UK. Tried it once before & surprise surprise, it didn't like our winter one bit! 😫 @ShelleySnyder

No, I didn't. Didn't like the smell or the look of it inside, lol. They are edible & good for the skin. I just want them as a fascinating plant to grow. Fancy any? @cyndi

You're very welcome. Last time I tried growing some, they took a while to germinate. After that, in the greenhouse in the summer, they grew like crazy. One just about survived the first winter, but not the next! They'll have a much better chance where you are though. I'll get some off to you when home👍 @cyndi

Ha ha, they do! You'd need strong teeth for these ones though & I think they'd be even less appetizing than real ones! 😄😄😄 @kez001uk

@jeatacake it’ll be hard to taste worse but I can imagine these seeds will just edge it 🤣

Definitely. Now they've been cleaned up a little & dried out, they look like (& probably taste like) pieces of cardboard......... Mmmmm, just like chicken nuggets 😋🤣 @kez001uk
