How To Harvest
California Wonder Bell Peppers Heirloom Seeds
To harvest the seeds of peppers,
simply cut the pepper in half
and pull out the core and seeds.
Rub the seeds gently from the core into a bowl.
Rinsing is not absolutely necessary, however,
when pepper seeds are placed in water and gently stirred,
mature seeds will sink to the bottom and the chaff
and immature seeds will float to the top.
Pour off the chaff and immature seeds,
repeating as necessary until clean.
Drain the seeds in a mesh strainer
set on absorbent toweling
before spreading them out on a
glass or metallic dish to dry.
Never dry seeds in the sun, the heat
can kill the embryo within very quickly.
When seeds are properly dried,
they will snap break when folded in half.
