herb seeds

Future flavor sources

Herb seeds are seeds from plants used for flavoring, fragrance, or medicine—basil, cilantro, dill, parsley, and the like.

The term appears most often in gardening contexts, where packets of herb seeds are sold for home cultivation: I picked up some herb seeds at the nursery.

Herb seeds may also refer to seeds used as seasonings themselves, like fennel or coriander.
