About 50 seeds of approximately 500 seeds found inside an otherwise fresh, healthy yellow squash by Salt Lake City restaurant owner, Kasim Barakzia, on March 14. Each seed had letters and symbols engraved on both sides with letters and symbols from different languages. One well known mathematical symbol is the Pi sign in the lower left corner.
