I could not see this in the post, so where, exactly, was the tomato found on-board and was it desiccated as expected, or did the supposedly sealed zip-lock bag prevent or reduce the desiccation process? This kind of story needs a post-recovery photo; just saying it was "found" is not enough for the curious.

Yea. Where is it? and if was a full-grown tomato, could the seeds be viable for a 2nd generation?

Yeah, dessicated tomato pics or it didn't happen.
