If seeds are from China, these may be even something else . Can't see from the photo, if they look like hostas seeds (actually never seen those, just googled how they are supposed to look like).

Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them
We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.
