    I came across strange seeds. They are small as kiwi seeds. Could anybody help me to identify them.

    Thank you

    Somewhat resembles Passiflora seeds, but just a guess based on superficial resemblance.

    Small as Kiwi seeds? I'd bet they're one of the fruiting cacti (Pitahaya or possibly Prickly Pear, but I'd lean towards the former.)

    Passiflora seeds have wings and are flatter than those, although the surface pitting is very similar.

    If I may ask, where did you get them?

    I got it from very tasty juice, dark and red-brown in color. The guy is not willing to uncover the name of the fruit or berry. This juice has got plenty of this seeds.


    Passiflora seeds are much bigger and duck in color. I think they’re closer to mulberry seeds but I’m not sure yet.

    I just did an image search for "Rubus seed". Some of the images looked somewhat similar in shape and had the pocked surface. Might be some type of raspberry or blackberry.

    You're right it's very close to it. It could be the same family. I checked mulberry seeds but they're much bigger and different in shape. No luck.
