Has anyone tried seeding raspberries with this?

The discs that come with this don't have a fine enough grain. The seeds will go right through the openings in the disc.I would suggest a juicer machine maybe???

I have, it did a pretty good job, it was "mostly" seedless. I didn't use the finest screen that came with it though so I would imagine that if I would have that it would have gotten out most if not all of the seeds.

Yes, it works quite well at loosening the soil for seeding. That is one of the reasons I bought it.

Do yourself a big favor and get a SQUEEZO strainer. I've had one for 30 years and it is wonderful! This Winco will NOT work for raspberries. The straining holes are too large. I also have a Kitchen Aid electric and it actually crushes the seeds and pushes them through. Awful! My advice is go with the Squeezo.

Not very well. I made raspberry jam with it last month and found a lot of seeds got through the finest disc. I had to put the puree through a wire mesh sieve after the food mill. But - I did not heat them first and realize now I should have; it may have helped. The smallest screen though, has holes that the seeds can fit through.

Read the review from verified purchasers. That should answer your question. To save you the time - It will take forever to have the fruit because the seeds do not germinate. This seller is a rip off as numerous reviewers have stated. Save your money and go to your local nursery and buy a dwarf blueberry bush. Most sellers of seeds on Amazon are a complete rip off. I am an avid gardener with over 40 years of experience and everyone who knows me says I have 2 green thumbs and the only seeds I ever have problems with are seeds bought from Amazon sellers.

Never tried it with raspberries. Only used it (successfully) for apple butter and apple sauce.

Hi Bonita, there is a very fine sieve in the set of three, but I really don't think it's fine enough to sort out raspberry seeds. The food mill does a wonderful job pureeing fruit, but a triple layer fine mesh sieve might do better for seeded berries. I hope this helps. Cc

I mix one cup of the solution with one gallon of water, and pour it on the ground, around the roots. I'm using it on blueberries, and use maybe one cup per baby bush and four cups per mature bush. I love the stuff, but don't yet know if it's helping--I'm only treating half of my bushes, as a somewhat controlled experiment. A local berry expert recommended the stuff, and recommended using it every other week from April through June.

According to the site, they have a kid with the pods and pellets so you can grow any seeds you like. The pods are just a means of circulating the water and nutrients through the sponges the seeds are suspended in. I'm thinking of trying it. I have a "black thumb" and even I can grow something in this!

I can strain mustard seeds out of Rasam soup, so I would assume that strawberry seeds would strain easily. It strains gravy pretty nicely too.

I'm assuming you mean to put the raspberries on the side of the cake? My first instinct was to respond 'no', however, I pulled out my small tub of piping gel and put some on the back of a plastic soda cap and stick it to a Tupperware lid standing up. Gravity has not pulled it down. 1) my piping gel is over a year old so could it be less runny? Don't know. 2) neither surface has moisture as a raspberry or buttercream has. I say, if you have time, try it out with 1 completely dry surface raspberry attached to a part of the cake you can fix if the experiment goes south - literally. I'm thinking it should work. Good Luck.

I used miracle grow potting mix with berry fertilizer. I grew mine in deck rail planters.. Worked great.. watering them every other day and keeping them happy.. I got huge berries.

No. I planted 4 packets of seeds in different areas and have gotten nothing. Big waste of money and thyme (pun intended!)

I have never tried it but I would think not. I have trouble with some of the larger strawberries but I love it.

Perhaps the smallest disc will do that. If not, suggest after running your raspberries through it, then run them through a cheese cloth. Hope that helps.

I have not tried this for tomato seeds, but the smallest hole grid looks like it should hold back raspberry seeds, so it may work for you.

True..... tho I haven't noticed strawberry seeds. I have put blackberries in with the strawberries, and it definitely does not grind blackberries. I asked a long-time user and she said "just get used to the seeds!" I want thick smoothies, so I don't use more liquid, just "enjoy" the bits of crunch!
