They are coated in fungicides etc to stop them from rotting when planted. -
And wash your hands after handling them!

Have you seen Tammy's method for sweetcorn. I'm going to try it this year.
2 sheets of kitchen roll, fold in half so you've got a really long length. Put one seed on one end [about 2 inches in, and roll up. Pop a seed every roll until you get to the end [of course depends on the number you are sowing]. Put into a plastic bag and moisten the kitchen roll. Stand up and wait until they germinate and then you can unroll and put into the modules/loo roll inners/root trainers.
