Does anyone know?

Does anyone know if seeds used in cooking have been treated? Is it worth sowing them to see what you get?

    I am not sure B3 but I would imagine that they have been treated for bacteria/fungal spores and may not be viable. Its always worth a go though and you never know unless you try. image

    You're right L4. Being in the school of 'I'm bound to remember what they are', even if they germinate, I probably won't know what's whatimage

  • I'd give it a go - certainly mung beans work, but I suspect most coking seeds have been heat-dried in order to preserve them so that would kill off the germ.  Give it a go with a pinch.....and let us all know of any successes - if you can remember what it was you sowed!
