Saving Tomato Seeds

select fresh ripe heirloom tomatoes 

gather like varieties (they will need to be grown in isolation for true purity). they need to fully ripe and can even be over ripe. cut in half & squeeze the seeds and "goo" into a jar. 

lablel! you can set aside the unused tomatoes for salsa, sauce or whatever you like :) 

fermented seeds; fill jars with water. viable seeds sink, mould & gross floats :) 

after jars are filled with water, and mould poured off the top for the third time, the water starts to get much clearer

fermented seeds filled with the water for the second time.

rinse off seeds 

let dry on a screen in a cool dark place
