Best Answer

The seeds of a tomato are inside it, and usually sprout after the tomato decays and the seeds can then germinate.

Seeds can actually start to sprout inside the tomato if it is kept around long enough and at room temperature. Do not eat the sprouting seeds. The flesh of the tomato is probably OK, but it must be getting a bit old and the flavor might not be what you'd hope for. I'd toss it and get a fresher one.

There may be a green leaf-like top on the tomato, this is part of the plant where it was attached to the vine. A tomato with one of those is perfectly edible - just pick off the piece, it will come away easily.

Can you eat tomato seeds and what are they?

Yes, you can eat tomato seeds. They are completely indigestible and will pass completely through the digestive system unchanged. The only people that can have problems with tomato seeds (and other live seeds) are those with diverticulosis, when pouches (diverticula) form in the wall of the colon. Seeds can be caught in these pouches and in some cases germinate and begin growing inside you! If this happens the person will require surgery to remove the pouches with the plants inside them.
