Tintoberry Seed — Detailed Guide
Growing your own tintoberries
The Tintoberry Seed is a farming seed in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Survivors plant it to raise a 
Tintoberry bush, and it fits a crop plot of any size. The in-game text reads: "Eat it to gain a tiny amount of nourishment, or plant it to grow your own Tintoberry bush. Can be planted in Small, Medium, or Large Crop Plots." Eating a seed gives only a very little food.
Gathering seeds
Seeds can be collected by hand or with a creature. The ARK Wiki says any herbivore a player can ride collects a fair amount, and singles out the 
Triceratops, 
Mammoth, 
Therizinosaur, 
Brontosaurus, 
Morellatops and 
Iguanodon as strong berry and seed gatherers. The Iguanodon can also turn stacks of berries into seeds.
Loot crates and maps
Our records list 56 loot crate types that can contain the seed, for example the Astraeos Blue and Astraeos Desert Blue crates and the Genesis Cyan crate on Genesis Part 2. The seed appears on 9 maps in our data, including The Island, Aberration, Ragnarok and Valguero.
Weight and spoiling
A seed weighs 0.01 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 1. Seeds spoil after 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes.
