Use them any way you would use spinach or other greens. It's a
different flavor but very good. Try mixing a little into some cooked
potatoes, or use in bread. Or use them as microgreens in salad. I
think it might be very interesting in fresh cheese.
If you know any nursing mothers, tea from the seeds is said to be a
good galactagogue.
