Hi Flower,

Pumpkin seeds, Sister throws them in everything, even custard.

Pine nuts used in Pesto. Coconuts in curry.

Caraway seeds, was getting sweets nicked of me by the school bully when I was little. Melted a load of chocolate & stirred in a load of caraway seeds. Put them in a paper bag & just waited till the bully demanded some "sweets" Which wasn't long.

He chewed away for a few seconds, then a puzzled look came over his face & he asked what they were.

"Chocolate covered Ants" I replied. I can still see him spitting them out & looking at me as if I was mad as I carried on eating them.

He never asked for any more sweets.

 

Nigella seeds in curries and on bread.

Celery seeds in pickles and savoury biscuits.

 

Coriander seeds go well in curries or fried rice. They give a burst of super freshness when you encounter them in your dinner.

Mustard seeds are responsible for giving the vindaloo most of its heat.

In both cases they need a short spell in a hot dry frying pan to cause their hard shells to crack, otherwise they'd be like eating grit.
