The tissues inside the seed are hard and dry. Imbibition (water absorption) is what will activate the biochemistry inside the seed to start mitosis... I don't think that minuscule amount of water inside keeps the embryo "alive", as it is dormant anyway, waiting for water to rev its engine.

Isn't that the whole point? - to have your seeds being dry?

I would love to hear what happens when you try it Shockey
