Spicy pickled cucumber seeds served in a jar

Spicy Pickled Cucumber Seeds

Cucumber seeds are not traditionally consumed on their own, but they are becoming increasingly popular in pickled form. The spicy version is especially exciting, as the addition of chili adds extra zest. Thanks to pickling in vinegar, the cucumber seeds retain their crunchy texture while gaining a rich flavor. An excellent choice for salads or as a stand-alone tangy snack.
