Yum, coriander seeds!
And yes, self sufficiency is definitely far beyond my capabilities (without inheriting millions from a distant relative I didn't know I had, and suffering some calamity that would force me to leave work but leave me capable of the mental and physical labour required...) However, every little helps and the mass production of protein rich foods is particularly problematic for the environment.
I have seen recipes for roasting pumpkin seeds in their husk, and then eating them like that. I tried it once and they were definitely an acquired taste (and texture) that I hadn't acquired yet! Perhaps something to experiment with more, in the hope of making something more palatable when I'm in a position to save more seed.

Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!
