I came here from a Google link on how to get the peach seed out of the peach pit and now I'm wondering on the necessity of watching the whole video to support content creators because of the algorithm of how they get paid from UA-cam
Google owns UA-cam so it's natural for a UA-cam video to pop up when you're searching for something sometimes, especially when it's a very niche topic. You do not have to watch the video. You do not have to support, but please keep in mind, A LOT of the other links you have to choose from when using Google search are getting paid one way or another from your visit. If this video helped, great! If not, I hope you find a resource that does. I'm not sure what else you want me to tell you, Dominu.
I was today years old when I realized the peach pit was not the seed😂Now I know you have to actually crack that thing open to get to the seed!! So cool how they plumped up after you put them in water overnight!! Excellent video!!🪱🪱🪱
I was seriously thinking the same thing. Sounds like an absolute Sweetheart. If I had to guess, she grew up in a calm and loving home. I could be wrong, but that is where I'd place my bet ✌🏻
New sub here. Great video! Very clear and informative. I have been growing peach trees from seed (not in pit) for 4 years and have beautiful peach trees. One tree produced a peach in 2023, and it was Devine. I just cracked open 34 pits today. I do it outside on a brick pile with a chisel and hammer opening the pits on slit.
Very informative and helpful. I wish I would have watched this first. I just tried to crack up open a pit and used a hammer the wrong way. I also didn't let the pit dry out. Thank you.
'Don't hit the pit while holding in hands' She said it just for me 😅 Well I've found another way to open pits and requires even less efforts: 1) soak pit in water for 12-24 hours. 2) On thick side where you hammered, do light cut with cutting blade. 3) put screw diver and rotate it. It will open easily.
For cherry pits I use diagonal head snips and nip it at the flesh lip. And dry it for at least a week so the seed inside shrinks away from the shell. You could possibly use the same method for peach pits. Ps use a face shield when doing cheery pits they often send chunks flying everywhere.
FYI, If anyone has those same green, long nosed pliers, the little round/circular hole on one side is the perfect tool for breaking cherry pits open. Just drop the seed in and close the pliers. A few trials will show you how to orient the seed in the opening. The hole is just a little smaller than the pit so it cracks open. You may need something pointy to push the seed out from the back of the pliers because sometimes the shells are still sticky. Then you can germinate those seeds too.
@@vesgardens Thanks for the reply🙏🙏 May I also ask you, what are you using as the base for underneath of it? It looks like a square shaped small stone. Where can I get that? Thanks
@@parisp6629 Oh, that's a metal bench block for jewelry making. I believe there are rubber ones too. I think the one I got was from Michael's craft store. Just search 'bench block' and you'll be able to find it! Also, in this video I crack the cherry seeds open the same way @00:26 ua-cam.com/video/561vvJ7UfKA/v-deo.html I use a slightly different method now since I just noticed that those same pliers have a space for wire cutting and the seeds fit in there. Now, pieces don't go flying everywhere. I plan on posting an updated video if the seeds germinate.
To safeguard your towels, counters and tables do this outside. The street and sidewalks are notorious for being free, hard surfaces most people have access to 🤔😅
I found in my experience believe or not BOLT CUTTERS large enough to fit the shell in-between the blades one try and I got my seed right out just be sure to move slow it couldn't of went more perfect!
@@vesgardens Will the seed still grow a tree that is full size if its like this. Im growing mine from a peach pit and i did get one to germinate so far but mine did look just like yours, kind of shriveled up. They plumped up pretty quick but im wondering if this stunts their growth or if it will grow to full size? Or is it a seed from a dwarf tree? i hope not.
i remember when i was 5 and had a peach for the first time, i bit into it like an apple and the peach pit just cracked in half, do my teeth have the force of a hammer?
@vesmagardens I ate one as a kid and I was perfectly fine. Years later as an adult, somebody had mentioned them in a comments section, regarding a certain cancer and them being a remedy when consuming properly. It’d be really messed if this is true and we’re being taught the opposite by the FDA for some malicious reason.
@andrewvazquez4683 Could you ever trust anything our modern government tells us? They are definitely a good source of nutrients that our bodies lack. Ever wonder why the big-name corporations work so hard to eliminate the seeds in food? Seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, seedless everything. There is something in the seed that our body's need to fight off disease, infections etc.
@@andrewvazquez4683 YT has taken down videos and removed accounts for people who talked about eating the seeds of apricots and peaches. There are studies and multitudes of testimony from people who have been cured by eating the seeds. I say if YT bans something that means it works.😁
It's almost as if the side at 00:24 sticks out like a small bulge, and at 00:27 it's flatter. That's what it seems like to me and maybe just me 🤣 it doesn't matter too much though.

@@danielrae861 thanks! I'll keep this in mind when I get some peach seeds again. I also made a video about germinating peach seeds if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/ul-RJbQi2cM/v-deo.html
I’m happy I found your channel. I harvested some early peaches from one of our trees and the pits came right open. I saved the seeds and now they’re all shriveled up. I was wondering if they were still good, should I soak them and for how long. All the answers are in this video. Thanks🫶🏽
But should you really be eating them unprocessed? I was trying to look up for information on web if they are safe to eat while raw fresh and there's no definite certain study saying that they are safe for consumption... That's just risking to potentially poisoning your body very slowly by eating them.
Wait, so is EVERY single kind of fruit pit basically a biodegradable fruit condom? 🤯 The things I randomly learn on UA-cam... Went 40 years thinking the Pit itself was the seed, and likely would've gone another 40. I feel like I'm 17, and finding out from my girlfriend where females pee from, all over again 🫣🤔🤨🫨🫢☺️
I mean, yep kinda, the gel around tomato seeds is coating that prevents germination so that the seeds are more likely to germinate the following spring instead of immediately upon the tomato falling to the ground, which is why when saving tomato seeds it's best to squeeze them out into some warm water and let them sit out at room temp for a couple days to ferment, then wash them off but decanting them in a larger jar and only save the ones that sink to bottom of water, the others that float are likely not viable seeds

You learn something new everyday! Lol thank you!
additionally its full of nutrients if u want to compost it or even eat it!
My thoughts exactly
Yeah me too I too learned at upteem years old that the peach pit waas NOT the seed as welll. Boy, knowledge is key. Thank you.
I love how friendly she sounds

I spent 30 minutes trying to use nut crackers to open my peach pit.. I found your video and had it opened in 10 seconds ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm glad it helped!
Best how to guide I've seen on this, thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
And now I know! LOL! I thought the pit was the seed. I have saved 3 pits and now I am hopeful to get the seeds. Thanks for this and Be Groovy!
Lol I used to think that too! Hope you get lots of growth!

Glad this helped!
Thank you. I bought a peach and wonder if you could plant the seed. Thank goodness for your video because I would have planted the whole seed.. 😊
Glad it helped! It would've taken a little bit longer to germinate if you planted it while still in the pit.
@@vesgardens Thank you for telling me.
'Don't hit the pit while holding in hands' She said it just for me 😅

Wow... I actually filmed this process months ago and completely forgot about it 🥴 Thanks for the reminder!
I had no idea about breaking open peach seeds. And now I know cherries also. Amazing
excellent, thanks! I followed your suggestions and was able to open all of my peach pits!
Nice! Glad it helped!
Gurl thank you so much....I have been treating the seeds up using my my shears
Love your videos M'lady!! Ty.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
This is very informing..I found too use plastic baggy helps keeps the pieces from flying...
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for showing this. Can plum or cherries pits be cracked like this, or for the smaller pits this method can’t be used?
Thanks
Yes, but you have to be careful, especially with the cherries, because you can crush the seed.

I recommend doing it outside! It’s a hard surface, and you don’t need towels or nothing
Great video. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for watching!
I had to use the vise and after much hammering, put a screw driver in the crack and mallet it to break open! Are Washington peaches just tougher?
Sounds like it!
OMG TYSMMM THIS WORKED SO WELL
I'm glad!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I just opened my peach pits and my seeds look thin like these did these seeds still germinate even being thin?
Soak them overnight and see if they plump up. If they do, throw them in loose potting mix or use the paper towel method to see if they'll germinate.

@Awet_pieceofbread6308 If the seeds have germinated and are growing they should be ok. You'll really just have to grow it and find out.
Have you tried wire cutters? I’ve seen it done on UA-cam
No
i remember when i was 5 and had a peach for the first time, i bit into it like an apple and the peach pit just cracked in half, do my teeth have the force of a hammer?
Maybe. You might even be an Avenger.
are they really that hard? should i apply for a guiness world record???@@vesgardens
I have a collection of rags from old clothes.
Eat the seed. Not a whole bunch but just 1 or 2 is fine. They taste like almonds.
I don't even like almonds like that. Can't you get cyanide poisoning from chewing the seeds though? 🤔

I used a vise
the peach pits and seeds are also toxic, not sure why an animal would want to eat them, but be careful not to let them.
Peach pits are literally used to make almond extract it protects the fruit from the seed. This is incorrect
Where is part two

i think I broke the seed.
Want a better view demonstrating the flat side.
It's almost as if the side at 00:24 sticks out like a small bulge, and at 00:27 it's flatter. That's what it seems like to me and maybe just me 🤣 it doesn't matter too much though.
Go ahead and do it this way except enclose everything in a plastic bag and forget about the safety glasses.
