For the seeds, perhaps? Once dried they can also be sold as kindling.

They only wanted the green ones not the dried out brown ones.

I don't think so, judging by their appearance, far from it.

That was my point. The green ones contain all the seeds but turn into the brown ones in the seed harvesting process.
