This is the stage that I think the seeds taste the best. They are sweet with a hint of anise flavor. They get too bitter to me as they age.

These seeds will stick to your clothes or hair to move about. Reminds me of spanish needles.

Notes:

 Some folks say that they seed about too much. They are easy to pull up but I have not had the problem because I eat most of the seeds.
