Sometimes the seeds are bitter so most people don't eat them. I always eat soft seeds, except avocado seeds, which taste like wood pulp; although I recently read on here that they are okay in fruit smoothies.

i always eat the seeds in bell peppers. i just don't really scoop them out. someone told me a long time ago to eat the seeds of things when you can, and the bell pepper ones are so soft i don't notice them.

oh what a funny question- your right it is just what we do! I have no idea why.
Reminds me of the story about the women who cut the ends of her easter ham before she cooked it but didn't know why. She just always did it that way because that is the way her mother did it.
When she later asked her mom about it, she found out that her mother had always done it that waybecause when she first got married she didn't have a pan big enough for the ham.

LOL. Tradition and conditioning. It is amazing how often we do or think such things.
