Having a relatively large number of onion seeds from my decorative
onions this year, I wondered if anyone had ever tried using them to coat
bread, in the manner of poppy seeds? I confess I no longer bake my own
bread, but enjoy briefly re-baked bread from the freezer. It would be
fairly easy to adhere onions seeds to a loaf or, for those who do bake
their own bread, put the seeds in the loaf. Cheese and onion seed
bread, for instance. It could catch on.

Are the seeds, perhaps, too hard to use in cooking? I've cracked teeth
on hard seeds in bread too often to risk it without the say-so of a
friendly guinea pig ;~).

Hope somebody here has explored the possibility!

Interesting, where do you get cheese seeds?

From a cheese plant, of course (Monstera deliciosa, in case you didn't
know)!

I Gruyère plant once, but no cheese from it

The Indian spice 'kalonji' is a type of onion seed, I understand. Used
widely in naan bread and pickling-style dishes. So try them and see

Forget that. Wiki tells me that kalonji may resemble onion seeds but are
totally unrelated.

Gouda known better.

Can you eat the seeds?
Edam and find out.
