Versatile in the kitchen, they can be steamed, grilled, roasted, or sautéed in butter.

Important Note
These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL). Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain seed varieties and does not affect crops or harm beneficial insects such as bees. If treated, packets will be clearly marked and the seeds dyed a distinct colour.
