| The whole fruit including the skin is suitable for human consumption except for the seeds, which may affect some consumers. |
|
| The seeds of apples contain small amounts of amygdalin, a sugar and cyanide compound known as a cyanogenic glycoside. |

| Willow Grouse and Red Grouse feed on the young shoots and seeds of this plant. |
|
| In flowering plants, unfertilized seeds are involved, or plantlets that grow instead of flowers. |
|
| A number of commonly cultivated plants are usually propagated by vegetative means rather than by seeds. |
|
| Wet meadows often have very high plant diversity and high densities of buried seeds. |
|
| The British victory in the war sowed some of the seeds of Britain's later conflict in the American War of Independence. |
|
| Botanically, a tomato is a fruit, a berry, consisting of the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. |

|
| For propagation, the seeds need to come from a mature fruit, and be dried or fermented before germination. |
|
| Quite a few seed merchants and banks provide a large selection of heirloom seeds. |
|

|
| They are sometimes marketed as seedless or burpless, because the seeds and skin of other varieties of cucumbers are said to give some people gas. |
