Pregnant Tomato?
This can happen to you too, if you keep a tomato too long on the counter. My wife cut one open and bingo! The seeds started to hatch!
What looked like a perfectly fine tomato, soon proved that was in fact that it was a pregnant tomato with all these seeds starting to germinate inside of it!
I wonder what would have happened if we would have left it uncut!
Curious thing…

Curious indeed! I have never seen the like… I imagine you could have just planted the thing and let it grow?
Sadly, if left, it probably would have rotted. Thanks for including me in places you visit…you are so welcome anytime!!
Oh, what a trip! This is kind of like when you cut into a bell pepper, and there are little peppers growing inside. But then, they are hollow, not wet like a tomato. I’ll bet you could plant those sprouts, though. I don’t see why they wouldn’t turn into little tomato plants!

I have never seen or heard of such a thing. I wonder what tomato sprouts would taste like?
Thanks for sharing!
Jessie: I had one of those bell peppers the other day! You feel like preserving it somehow and pop it on a display.
Sam: yes, although as Joan mentioned, it might have gone bad. But maybe just pull out the seedlings and replant?
Lanie: We actually ate it! Nothing different taste wise from a regular Tomato…
Thanks for the comments all!!
That is the coolest thing! Did you eat it?
I’ve seen that before, and it always startles me as if they were bugs or something ~ but tastes just fine!
Maggie: We did eat it! Nothing unusual! Except some funny noises from our stomachs 🙂
Taste memory Girl: It sure looked like they were worms initially.
So did you get tummyache after having it? Oh dear, I really wonder if it’s poisonous. I know for potatoes, if they grow something on their skin, it’s poisonous and those cannot be consumed.
I’ve seen one of those before. Perhaps like you suggested, pull it out and plant?
It tasted perfectly fine and there were no upset stomach after eating it.
I think we just threw those seedlings into the salad. It looked interesting.
thanks for the comments!
I have never seen anything like that before! Glad you took the photo before eating it!
Nicole: thanks for the comment! I took the photo before and… wrote my will – just in case 🙂
