Why Do Carrot Seeds Look Different Than In 80’s?

Question

I used to garden until I moved into a condo. I’m in a house again and seeds look more like candy than seeds. What’s up?

Answer 1

They are likely coated with nutrients, or fungicide to make them germinate better.

This is common practice with modern seeds. You can still find uncoated seeds, though.
