They are small shiny black bits, the hulls of infertile wannnabe seeds. If
you find a nice plump one, plant it and see if anything comes up.

When I peel pineapples I often find small shiny black bits that look
like seeds. They're about the size of a sesame seed. If these aren't
seeds, what are they?

As I responded before, I have 3 growing in my basement from those black
bits. Kind of elongated right? I have six inch pineapple plants and my
FIL has "much" larger ones from seeds I gave him (he lives in a very warm
apartment) . I am going to work on his to see if we can get them to set
fruit this year. Good old Del Monte golden pineapple!!!

Kind of elongated, right? As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I have three
and I gave my FIL 2 pineapple plants I started from the good old golden
DelMonte pineapple seeds. This year we plan to try and help them set seed.
Wish us luck

Where is your sense of humour? You could not see I was joking?

Still waiting for you to tell your joke, Frenchie!

Why do you think a fruit needs to have seeds to be a fruit? Botanically=
, a
fruit is the structure that develops after the flowers fade, regardless=
of
whether they contain seeds or not.

To day, I ate an orange without seed. Then it was not a fruit? It taste=
d
more or less the same as the one I ate 2
weeks ago. This one was a fruit since it had seeds in it. :-)

I feel silly. I feel as joking to night.
