seeds Deseeding Rocotos

Just a quick question: I'm deseeding some ripe Turbo Pubes and Large Red Rocotos, and have dutifully left these pods on the vine until they are VERY ripe (soft and just slightly wrinkly).

Question: About a quarter of the harvested seed is not black, rather a dark tan to dark brown. Should they be sorted out and tossed or are they viable? They appear as healthy as the black ones, just not black.

Why not set aside the brown ones, but do a germination test on some of them? Then you will know for certain. That is what I would do.

Personally, I trash those ones just as I would dark seeds in the white seeded cultivars.
