When I grabbed a tomato for my chicken sandwich, I felt something just underneath the skin like a seed that had grown in lost. With the blade of my knife, I dug out the bump. I pulled out what looked to be a white root, but at the end was a green spring, it was a sprout. I cut the whole tomato in half and it was full of sprouts. I had never seen this before, they were little alien babies, growing in the slimy entrails of their host.
I did some research and it seems to be a genetic anomaly, that the coating that inhibit seed growth deteriorated before the tomato started to rot and ferment. And so I planted them. They seem to be doing okay, straightening up and spreading their tiny leaves.
