seedcontaining

Seedcontaining is an adjective used to describe a substance, product, or material that contains seeds within its structure or composition. It is formed from the noun seed and the participle containing. In standard English, the hyphenated form seed-containing is more common; seedcontaining may appear as a coined or branding term in product names or technical literature.

Applications span natural produce, foods, and horticultural contexts. In natural products, many fruits and plant tissues are seedcontaining when their seeds remain inside or attached, such as apples, peaches, peppers, and pomegranates. In processed foods, seed-containing items include loaves or cereals that carry sesame, poppy, sunflower, or chia seeds, or snack mixes with visible seeds.

In labeling or consumer information, identifying seedcontaining content helps indicate presence of seeds for eating, potential choking hazards, or botanical relevance for planting. The term is primarily descriptive and does not imply anything about seed quality.

Notes: seed-containing is the standard form in most writing; seedcontaining is a stylistic variant more common in marketing or branding. The term is not widely standardized in major dictionaries.
