Question about seeds

Greetings,
A newbie on this forum. I hope someone could answer a quick question to prevent a long search. I harvested several pods from my hardy passion flower and put them in a tin pan. I checked them today and they have the feel of dried fruit. I wanted to trade them, but I don't know how to keep them without causing mold. Can anyone help me on this. Thanks

If they have been sitting there for a few weeks or more, I'd go ahead and cut the fruits open, and remove the seeds. Let them dry a couple of days, and remove the dried pulp. Then let them dry for another week or so.

Good luck

Thank you very much.
