Will you remove the tomato seeds when you cook them?

Perhaps it sounds strange as I have never considered to remove them when I am cooking. Then I read some recipes that they need to remove the tomato seeds so that the food will not be so liquid and it will taste better. I think we probably don't want to waste any bit of it

No, it's very easy, I remove the seeds almost every time I use tomatoes for cooking, seeds are bitter cooked.

It is easy to remove them. Just take the seeds part outside.

As I already explained when we were talking about "knives" seeds must be removed for several recipes. Seeds are bitter, they are wet and they can ruin a good recipe.

To me the tomato seeds are just wet and I don't think they are bitter. I am sensitive to the bitter flavor. If it is bitter, be sure I will not eat tomatoes

@youless It seems you cannot feel the difference, I do and I will never make a sauce for an Amatriciana adding the seeds. The only time I did because I was in a hurry my brother asked me if I have forgot how to cook.

No, I don't remove them. They don't bother me and it's too much work to get rid of them.

@youless it depends on the dish that they will be making. I guess, byt not all dish does not neet to remove the seeds.

No, we do not remove the seeds, I think most Asian cooking does not require it. I also think Philippine common variety of tomaoes have very small seeds.

You are right. Asians will not remove the tomato seeds because we don't mind it to be so liquid.

@youless Asians stir fry tomatoes in a wok most of the time which causes excess liquid to evaporate.

I remove them when I make a Spanish rice, because they can get bitter and that isn't how I want my rice to be, but other than that I don't remove them

@youless Some varieties have more seeds and are wetter. Some less. My mom, when she was alive, preferred "Roma" tomatoes, a sauce tomato, for her sandwiches. She did not like cherry or grape tomatoes, said they had too much seed and skin for her taste. I like them all.

In fact it is strange for me that the tomato seeds will be bitter. I wonder whether we have the same tomatoes.

@youless we mostly use roma tomatoes which are very wet and tons of seeds that can be a bit bitter because tomatoes are so acidic
