Lorna has given permission to use these photos of her tomato seed processing. They are really clear and describes the process quite easily. Just take note that you need enough liquid in the jar so that they do not dry out over the fermenting period (2-3 days). If the tomatoes are not juicy then add a little rainwater. Tap water may interfere with the bacteria that break down the plant tissues.
One of the most important steps is the very first one. Select the best of the bunch as these are the traits you will want to reinforce with continued crops in the future.
Thanks Lorna!
I select my Roma tomatoes to have a hollow cavity, so less water in the pulp when processing. They also dry quicker when making sun-dried tomatoes. |
