I was cutting up some pods for seeds today and got to one freaky pepper. When I cut this pepper open it had 20+ seeds germinated inside with about 1/2" long tails has anyone else seen this?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
New way for seed germination?

As in they had started growing in the pod? Nope never saw that before!
Yea they had started growing in the pod. I have pics I'll post up.This pod was super oily inside and pretty hot.
Haha that brings a whole new meaning to getting started early... Yeah man we'd all love to see that!
rebelman, you bring freaky to the table.
Can you say oil?
Wow! Now that is awesome!
I have had it happen to me with tomatoes like Browning said, but never a pepper.
A few days ago I ate an apple with seeds that germinated inside
For me I see it when I have very ripe pods that the plant was stressed then well watered.
I see it a lot with large podded Annuums mostly.
I also see it in pods I picke that I didn't use right away.
I think the pod was ripe but was trying to re produce before it dried out.
Might be a temperature type thing.Too hot or cool,seeds dry out until conditions are right.
Right temps and moisture,seeds sprout.
I don't find it all that uncommon.
Seems I get it more with thick fleshed pods.
Usually stuff picked ripe and set in a bowl on the counter until I use them.
Annuums and Chinense is where I see it most.
Never in Frutescens ans seldom in Baccatums except in the bigger pods-Aji Amarillo types.
I think it has to do with seed maturity,temps and water content mostly.
Not uncommon,but i used to grow a lot of stuff/1 of 800 varieties in pots...

I found sprouted seeds inside the pod while processing some Peach Bhuts today. We have had a major weather change the past week from upper 90's(days) low 70's(nights) to low 80's(days) upper 40's(nights) and my plants are blooming and growing like crazy. Will probably frost by months end though
wow..i have never seen that before..
I planted the ones out of mine and they are growing fine so far.
