Thanks for this info, Margaret.  I found it fascinating.  However, I have not
had germination problems.  Could I be removing enough of the gel in my process
to remove inhibition, or is it that my seeds would just take longer to
germinate, or less will germinate?
Can you (or anyone else) help further?

I scoop the seed from the tomato, put between two same-sized sieves (flour

press

Yes, but Carrie, fermentation destroys the anti-germination gel around the
seeds. Much easier and more effective. Margaret L
