I don't eat them either (especially the slabs of cinnamon), but sometimes there are so many of them I wonder.

I don't eat them either. You could eat them if you want, but all of their flavor has become infused into the rice so they're not that flavorful on their own. Plus, they are sort of like eating twigs (woody) and not that appetizing.

You're not really suppossed to eat them. I've accidentally chewed on them and the flavour is too intense but it won't harm you. I wish they wouldn't put them in to be honest. I can live without 'fragrant' rice.

cloves and cardamon are used discreetly --i.e. in a pochette...kind of "cloth package" while you cook rice, yes they add flavor and you do not have to see and eat the pochette..since it is taken out before your rice reaches your place. etiquette my dear, etiquette. the key to savoir vivre. voila.

No, but no worries about it if you did eat one gives you a sudden rush of flavor.

No way! THey would probably break your teeth or give you a massive hit of their flavor
