I have both sets of grandparents who owned rubber gardens and have cousins who tapped rubber. In fact my maternal grandmother and my third uncle managed a rubber smoke house after the Japanese war in Nang Chong village.
Thus in a way I am very familiar with the rubber industry. However I have never eaten rubber seeds until recently.
The rubber seeds are salted and boiled. In the photo, the seeds are soften and ready to be re-cooked. They can be stir fried with ikan bilis or even deep fried. Actually they taste rather like chestnuts if they are boiled in sugary and saltish water.
