Now when we have our eggplant ready we should take a bowl of water and cut the eggplant into pieces. We should kind of massage the pieces while in the water and the seeds will start coming separately from the pieces. Don&#8217;t feel disappointed because it is really not practical to get each and every seed from the pieces. With a sieve drain all the water out so that we are left with only the seeds. Now we can dry the seeds on a plate without direct sunlight. We should then save the seeds in a container of ash. Now I still have the seeds I collected and I wanted to test the power of ash, so I saved half of the seeds without ash and half with ash. The seeds which were in the ash were in good condition while the ones without were in a was in a condition that was not really comparable with the seeds saved in the ash.
