I'm sorry I don't have a photo but, I bought a packet of delonix regia seeds and soaked them for a day in warm water to get them ready for planting. When I took them out, they we're all stuck together in a big clump of goo.... What's going on with my seeds?
Being in Fabaceae, I'd easily believe this to be normal. Not that everything bean related would, but there are a whole bunch of seeds out there other than chia, which is a member of a different family, that will produce that kind of gel. Just spread them out a bit, perhaps on a bit of paper, to separate them enough for planting. Think of it as a protection for the seed, keeping it hydrated and lessening the chance of being eaten by a bird. Edit to add: Daniel's response wasn't up yet when I started writing... Fascinating link.
