Because the photograph came out a bit blurry, I’ll give you a big hint. They look like small tomato seeds.
Any ideas what plant they might be from?

Our mystery seeds from last week were from an eggplant, Solanum melongena.
Eggplants are related to potatoes and tomatoes, but tend to grow more like a shrub than a vine.
There are a number of varieties, with fruit of many different shapes and colors, like the long ones in this video from Growing Wisdom.
Do you have a favorite recipe for eggplant?
Yes, mystery seed of the week has returned.
Are you ready to identify these seeds?
Please leave a comment if you have an idea and see if you how well you recognize your seeds next week.
