    Mine look exactly the same Dave, I think it's to prevent the seed from rotting before it germinates? Just make sure you wash your hands after handling them

      Hi

      The back of my packet says it is treated with Benlate Thiram to aid germination.

      Make sure you wash your hands after handling.
