On the spice shelf at my local Thai/Chinese/Indonesian/etc grocery the other
day, they had big (100g) packets of 'Sweet Basil Seed'. Basilophile that I
am, I brought some home. Turns out that they taste of generic plant seeds,
so they're obviously not meant for use directly as a flavouring. What are
they used for in such quantities? Can you sprout the stuff like alfalfa, or
is there something I'm missing here?

Anyone?
