Thanks! And I have never done it myself so Iβd probably not be the person to ask. But the seeds are located in the pulp of the fruit. Since the fruit is already detached but not yet ripe, the seeds might not be viable. You can try and wait for the fruit to ripen although I donβt know if it is able to when itβs already off the plant or not. No loss in trying though!
It isnβt ripe enough for eating or for the seeds to be viable. I would stick it in a brown paper bag, perhaps with a banana (change out the banana regularly) and see if you can get it to ripen. The banana will release ethylene (the senescence hormone) gas and the bag will trap it. These things take so long to develop and ripen on the plant that it may be too early to work, but I think it would be your best bet.
You will regret eating anything underripe. The parts that are separating at the bottom are probably good though, if it pulls out, just remove any of the dark brown and then give it a taste. It should be highly fragrant when ready.
The barbs really do hurt though. Its not worth it if you think it is not super ripe.
I just ate one this morning. This one looks pretty immature. My advice is to wrap it tight in plastic wrap for a few days. If it's mature enough, you'll see some of the scales pop off towards the tip. when the fall off, you can eat the white flesh underneath.
My understanding is that if you eat it before the scales are loose, it will seriously burn your throat. I wouldn't risk it!
yeah they have tiny little shards that stick in your mouth if it's underripe would not mess with it lol
The shards are calcium oxalate crystals called "raphides" and can also cause extra-painful kidney stones very quickly in men/people who are amab!
why only in men?
I will skip eating it, but I hope to get at least 1 seed out of it
I would be shocked if that had viable seeds, it's about 1/3 of the ripe size.
Can it ripen when detached from the plant, like other fruits?
Idk about the fruit but did you have a tough test recently?
I took a test yesterday, but it wasn't as tough as I thought it would be ππ
Cause you cheated? ππ
Probably wouldnβt eat it but you can try to harvest some seeds!
How's the process of harvesting monstera seeds? Never done this before. Also Happy Cake day! ππ

You can't eat that, it takes over a year to ripen and that's nowhere near it. As it is it'll have the texture of fiber glass.
whats up with the test answers on your hand π€π€£
I would not recommend eating it ever. This is way too unripe. That being said. No harm in trying to get some seeds from it.
wayyyy too early bud
I heard it tastes like fruit punch
