How to Harvest Blueberry Seeds

Tasty, tart blueberries are healthy fruits loaded with vitamins A, C and E. Inside the blue, globular fruit are tiny blueberry seeds. Start your own blueberry bushes by planting the seeds in an area with rich, moist soil. It usually takes at least two years before blueberry bushes produce fruit, so be prepared to wait. Harvest seeds from blueberries you have collected in the wild or from your grocer's produce section.
