Why would you want to save your seeds? Well, there are a few reasons:
-It preserves food culture and history.
-Overtime, by taking the seeds from the best produce, you will get the most desired produce.
-It is much cheaper!
Here's how you can do it:
Plant and wait until your produce matures. There are many different cues that let us know when certain plants are mature. Next is to harvest your veggie or fruit and separate out the seeds. You can dry the seeds out in the sun or in a jar of rice. Make sure you keep them in a cool dark place inside glass jars, metal containers, or tightly sealed cloth bags.
