Actually, they are. That long thing is made up of little tiny seeds. 
Some of the bigger ones make it easier to see the individual pods. But 
when you grind them you should be able to see some of the seeds. They're 
smaller than a poppy seed.

I was going to say what about the big 'long' things? So if you are grinding
them up should you grind up the whole thing or just the little seeds? Would
there be a difference in flavour if you did?
