Slathered with peanut butter. They are very tasty. Also great to use for a chicken salad or tuna salad sandwich.

If your not careful you’ll get the seeds all over the counter and eventually will have to answer to she who must be obeyed.

......of chemicals and preservatives in the whole commercial baking industry!

Their taste is undeniable, and an unopened package of them will keep "fresh" well into the next decade. I heard that some were found in the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and were still fresh enough to toast and eat.

(i.e. yeah, they taste good, but be aware of what you are putting into yourself)
