The Great Tomato Debate: Seeds or No Seeds? The world of cooking is full of debates, and one that continues to simmer in home kitchens across the globe is the question of whether to deseed tomatoes.
Recipes often instruct us to remove the seeds from our tomatoes, but this advice may not be entirely sound. Food writers and chefs weigh in on this topic, citing the variety of tomato as a key factor.
Some tomatoes have more seeds than others. For example, Sicilian tomatoes have "loads of little bitter seeds" that need to be removed, according to Rachel Roddy.
