Default Interesting US seed supplier

I don't usually look through sites like this, but came across an
interesting claim (on the site that Jeff mentioned) : that the seeds
of 'honesty' - Lunaria annua can be used as a mustard substitute and
the roots can be cooked as a vegetable. Live and learn.


I suppose its part of the greater cabbage family so related to mustard but
even so I didn't know that either, does the site indicate how to prepare the
seed? (we always have plenty of honesty seed!)
