Eat persimmon seeds?

I was making persimmon leather this year and I put the persimmons through my pulp machine with seeds like you are NOT supposed to (I had forgotten what I did the previous time). Anyway, most of it came out fine but the tail bit had seed fragments in it. Not wanting to throw it out I made leather with it which tastes perfectly fine. Google now tells me that apparently native Americans would make a meal out of the seeds to thicken stews, and early settlers would roast the seeds, grind, and use as a coffee substitute.

I threw away all this years seeds already but looking forward I am wondering if I should try to do something with them next year. Anyone doing anything with their persimmon seeds?
