Fascinating. 'Silver Edged' Squash (C. argyrosperma) seed, at @AgrarianSharing seed steward meeting yesterday. An important ingredient in Latin American cuisine, the flesh goes to animal feed; the seeds are roasted for snacks (pepitas) or ground for pipian sauce, a type of mole.

The edges of the shed, truly shiny silver, is actually an outer hull or husk. Inside the hull is a long green seed. This is wha is ground to make pipian sauce.
