Monstera Seed pod question

My Monstera had a green pod/fruit when I got him and he's grown splendidly indoors. This week the pod has started to break up, revealing the pale yellow fruit inside. Should I be collecting the seeds and trying to propagate and if so, which bits are the seeds - it's breaking up into what look a lot like pale yellow teeth with black flecks.

Or is this just too much trouble? I am also pushing the airborne roots in to the soil in a hope for cuttings later.

 

The fruit is supposed to be edible hence the name Monstera deliciosa.
It's up to you whether you sow the seeds, I night try out of interest without expecting anything.

 

Maybe I'll try eating some

 

Its the fruit that is edible, not sure about the seeds, but I agree with Nigel try growing some just out of interest.

Yes try to get the aerial roots into the pot, I find they stick to walls if allowed to.

 

Please note
Monstera deliciosa fruit is edible and can be delicious when fully ripe, but unripe fruit contains irritants that can cause throat and skin irritation. The fruit's appearance is marked by green hexagonal scales, which should naturally fall off when the fruit is ripe, revealing the edible flesh underneath. Eating unripe fruit can lead to a burning sensation in the throat and mouth due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals, also known as raphides.
Calcium oxalate crystals are quite common in members of this family and should be treated with respect.

 

Basically, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

 

I like this summary. It's like a safety AI just stepped in

 

@Soundof trains , could you please post a photo? Monstera fruiting as a houseplant must be very rare, I'm quite envious!

 

Unfortunately I took it off the plant as it was disintegrating and the dogs looked too interested.

 

I have eaten them in the past as i grew them in the Palm House in Weymouth in the '90s. I can't remember now what they tasted like but it wasn't unpleasant.

 

It didn't smell unpleasant - a bit like Mango
