'seen below' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can sometimes define each other.

'costa recalled seedy nuts' is the wordplay.
'costa' becomes 'rib' (synonyms).
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'rib' back-to-front is 'bir'.
'seedy' with letters rearranged gives 'dseye'.
'bir'+'dseye'='BIRDS-EYE'

'as' acts as a link.
