How to Seed Tomatoes
Love tomatoes, but not the seeds? There’s more than one way to seed a tomato, and I’ll show you how to do it. Before you know it, you’ll be adding fresh tomato flavor to your recipes without watering them down.
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatoes
Instructions
To seed a tomato by cutting it in half:
- Cut the tomato in half along the equator (not through the stem) to expose the chambers in the fruit.
- Gently squeeze each half of the tomato to release the seeds. You can also use a small spoon or butter knife to help you do this.
- Discard the seeds (or reserve for another use) and proceed with the recipe.
To seed a tomato by cutting it in wedges:
- Cut the tomato into several wedge-shaped slices from the stem to the bottom of the fruit.
- Using a sharp paring knife, run the blade under each pocket of seeds, along the inner flesh of the tomato itself. The seeds and gel should release as you cut.
- Discard the seeds (or reserve for another use) and proceed with the recipe.
