saving orange hab seed question

18 years ago

The inside of the pepper is quite moist and the seeds cling to the flesh of the pepper. I have to pull the seeds off and they detach with a little piece of flesh. Spraying did not seperate the flesh. Is there an easy way to get the flesh off or does it matter? Should I ferment or soak the seed?

I always used a sharp paring knife. You can kinda cut (more like scrape) them out with little flesh. I don't think the flesh matters other than for appearance. I've never fermented mine and have had great success. Place the seeds on a paper towel with decent air circulation and maybe sun. There's a great window in the kitchen for that. Once dry put in a dark dry place like a plastic baggie, in a paper envelope, in a drawyer until you are ready to plant.

Dont worry about the flesh.As the seeds dry ,the seeds will pop off easily by using your fingers or a small spoon
