'seen below' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.

'costa recalled seedy nuts' is the wordplay.
'costa' becomes 'rib' (synonyms).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'rib' written backwards gives 'bir'.
'seedy' is an anagram of 'dseye'.
'bir'+'dseye'='BIRDS-EYE'

'as' is the link.
