Experiment: Can You Germinate Seeds From a Frozen Pepper?
I had some left over peppers that I did not know what to do with at the end of the growing season last year. This year I wondered, are the seeds still viable? Can I germinate a seed that was frozen inside of a pepper? To find out I conducted this experiment.

Pull Out a Frozen Pepper
Following last year's harvest, I froze some Aji Fantasy Peppers whole.
Cut Open the Peppers and Remove the Seeds
​Place Seeds on a Moist Paper Towel or Napkin
Put Inside a Zipper Bag
Leave in a Warm Place for 2 Weeks
A Seed Sprouted!
After 2 weeks of being left alone in the warm, moist environment, the pepper seed sprouted. The experiment proves that one can sprout seeds from a frozen pepper.
