you actually found a store that sells the seeded plantain variety??? you think you may have viable seeds? thats interesting
the funny thing about tropical fruit from grocery stores....it depends.the big question is where did the plaintain come from???papayas seed for example:you can cut open a papaya and get some seeds from the caribean red(mostly grown in mexico)and germinate them. but its harder if you try to grow seeds from hawaiian fruit because it has been exposed to radiation. the main reason was to kill pests and stop them from traveling. the radiation can kill the seed also.in a way it could be a good thing also since a lot of hawiian grown seed are gmo.(genetically modified organisms).
anyways regardless of where the seed came from and you still want to try it from curiousity... you can take out the seeds and dry them out for about a week...then you can soak them overnight and then try germinate them the next morning..i wouldnt even put them in any controlled environment to get them to germinate i would just put em outside and see what happens. let us know what happens.
