Saff is there an easy way to rid seeds that are preparing for a trip of that tenaceous flesh? All 3 sabaras of mine have just a few fruit but are covered in flower buds.I also found flowers on my 2 yellow jabs.The sabaras are crazy productive and the fruit have a great taste.
Here is another way to clean them...
spit the seeds out, as your eating them, onto a sheet of news paper.
Make sure all seeds come in contact with the paper...and roll them up, or ball them up...
Let the ball, or roll of news paper and seeds dry out for a few days (it should still be somewhat moist).
After this, you'll have to pick apart the seeds carefully...they should have newspaper stuck to the pulp.
Instead of wet, slippery and tenacious pulp to remove, you'll have something that scrapes off like wallpaper.
The fruit pulp is much easier to remove this way....also, jaboticaba seeds like to dry out...just a little bit, before they're planted. Never totally dry...but drier than super fresh seeds.
