How To Save Roma Tomato Seeds. Romas are a bit different of a Tomato when it comes to saving their seeds. Far less prolific in terms of seed count, you could need up to 4x as much Roma Tomatoes as a traditional variety to get the same number of seeds.
In this video, I show you from start to finish how you can harvest your own Roma Tomatoes and save the seeds for next year and year’s to come!
Its an easy easy process and I’ll show you how to 1) Collect 2) Ferment and 3) Dry your Tomato seeds for storage…and they’ll last for up to 5 years!

Can you use a dehydrator on them?
Thank you for the great video tutorial ☺️
BRILLIANT!!! Tons of facts I did not know. I've saved seeds a bunch and have not tried your process but surely will now!
you can also remove the gel coating by slightly rubbing the seed on paper towel
Would this work for a Roma that I purchase from the grocery store?
I grow a lot of kinds of tomatoes this year but I didn't have any Roma tomato seeds.
Living in zone 4 is so difficult! Sunday we got frost already and even snow flakes up here in the mountains. You can guess what happened to all my tomatoes ☹️ brother as always God bless you and your information is on point.
Are San Marzano good? What uses and benefits do they have? I bought some seeds and I've never raised the variety. That's why I ask.
I haven't tried growing romas yet, but I plan to this next Spring. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I have a few tubs of seeds fermenting on the counter right now. I learned how from one of your previous videos, so thanks Jeff!!
Great facts and tips on growing Roma tomatoes! Thank you!!
How early should I start germination?
This is great! Thank you

What is your other YouTube channel? I've heard you mention it before and would like to watch it. Also, thank you for this great video on saving Roma seeds. This is my first year gardening and I'm planning on getting as much out of my garden as I can and that includes seeds for next year. Thanks for your great videos!
I opened a Roma tomato today from my garden to save the seed and there were not one seed! Zero seeds, how weird is that?
Brilliant video, very informative, thank you!
How important, is it to have clean hands, when you are scraping out the seats? I’m thinking of smokers , etcc
3:37 I didn't know that Roma tomatoes were for making tomato paste. Good to know.
Is it totally OK collect seeds from store bought tomatoes?
I will do it this year.i just love growing tomatoes.
Do you store the seeds at room temp? Apologies if I missed it in the video
Excellent video! I did not know about the fermenting of the seeds to breakdown the coating. I will be trying that tomorrow with some of my last harvested batch of cherry tomatoes. Thank you.
Do we need to keep changing the water for two weeks during the process of fermentation
If we blanche the tomato in order to skin it to make sauce, will the seeds still be viable?
I love the way you share.
