tomato seeds

Inside the nightshade

Tomato seeds are the small, flat, oval seeds found inside tomatoes, embedded in the fruit's gel-like pulp.

Gardeners save and dry them for planting, though commercial growers typically buy certified seed stock.

In cooking, recipes sometimes call for removing seeds along with the watery pulp to reduce moisture: Seed the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce.
