Pepper Seeds Are Tasty

Posted on: 02/17/03, 18:15:58
Oh so tasty, tasty seeds! Pepper seeds are remarkably tasty. Seeds from green peppers are much tastier than any other color, and not every single green pepper has tasty seeds. But in general, if I offer a pepper, the Finsters all fly down to get some seeds. As far as I can tell, they grab a seed in their beak, move it around a little, and spit it out. It's really hard to tell if they actually eat much, maybe they just taste good? But the Finsters hop on top, pick at the membrane, and flick seeds everywhere. Peanut likes them too, but again, it's hard to say what he's actually eating.

The birds have trained me to eat a lot more peppers than I used to. They aren't my favorite vegetables, but I'm learning to use them more, since those seeds are so darned tasty. Click here to see the pepper core "after."
