How to Remove Seeds From a Tomato
- 1). Wash your tomato. Once you slice it open to remove the seeds, it will be too late to clean the tomato, so do that first.
- 2). Slice off the top and bottom of your tomato. Slice only enough to get the stem end off and the end of the tomato. Don't slice too much or you'll be slicing off parts of the tomato that you'll rather eat.
- 3). Mostly slice your tomato in half lengthwise, but don't slice all the way through and instead pull the tomato open, but leave it in one piece. You are, in essence, butterflying the tomato.
- 4). Slide a small sharp paring knife under the meat of the tomato and slice out the watery flesh and the seeds. You should be able to do this in one pass through.
- 5). If any seeds remain, you can just scrape these off with your fingers.
- 6). Slice or chop your tomato for use in a recipe.
