This is an in-depth study, from beginning to end, of a slice of a tomato. Penelope soaked the slice in a solution of Mineral MAX AG and the tomato seeds germinated. After germination, the starts were placed in pots.

Tomato Plants Grown from A Slice of Tomato!

Pozole peppers are in the front row and behind them are the tomato plants, about 20, grown from one tomato slice! The peppers were also grown from seeds obtained from a pepper slice soaked in Mineral MAX AG. 100% of the seeds germinated. The peppers took a little longer to germinate than the tomatoes did. Typically, 30–60% of seeds germinate.
