You could use a floor mixer if your hands are too delicate. Were I to
really go big I would use my Univex Floor model 30 quart mixer with a
paddle, then strain as shown. However my wife might object to using kitchen
equipment.
Several options are offered on YouTube, I like Ray’s paper towel method for
a small quantity. Cut the tomato in half and rub in against a paper towel,
eat the seedless tomato and dry the seeds on the towel in the sunlight.
Volla!seeds when you want them by picking them off. Good luck.
seeds have a coating on them that takes garden rot (soil) to break them
down in most common cases.
Approximately how many tomatoes were used to collect that batch of seeds?
No concern on sprouting as this is just a short rinse and bleach. You dry
the wet seeds in a dehydrator at 105 F and place in a dry jar. I am already
growing tomato’s from last years seed savings. Remember this works on old
time heritage open pollinated tomato- NOT hybreded from the store. Best in
gardening-write anytime. Mark
Very interesting video. I was wandering if this process can be used on
tomatoes bought at the store since i didn’t garden last year and was also
curious as to whether or not this technique can be used on other
vegetables? We mostly grow Roma but I have never grown anything from seed
and am going to try this year.
I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with a small balcony. Is there a less messy
way that I can harvest my tomato seeds which requires less space?
six large Russian variety. Look at the other bowels.
most all commercial seeds are washed, then dried. I do not bother.
