Longrass Seed — Detailed Guide
Growing Longrass from seed
Longrass Seed is what you plant to raise a 
Longrass crop in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In-game it says: "Eat it to gain a tiny amount of nourishment, or plant it to grow your own Longrass crop. Can be planted in Medium or Large Crop Plots." Eaten instead of planted, a seed restores only a little food.
Collecting seeds
You can gather seeds by hand or let a creature do it. The ARK Wiki says most rideable herbivores bring in a fair amount, and it singles out the 
Triceratops, 
Mammoth, 
Brontosaurus, 
Morellatops and 
Iguanodon as very good berry and seed gatherers. An Iguanodon can even convert berry and crop stacks into seeds. Crates are another source: 56 crate types can contain the seed, for instance Astraeos Blue and Astraeos Desert Blue with their bonus variants, as well as Genesis Blue and Genesis Cyan.
Spoilage and weight
A Longrass Seed spoils after 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes. It weighs 0.04 and stacks to 100, for a full stack weight of 4. Our records list it on 9 maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Lost Colony and Astraeos.
