Boiling the seeds destroys the enzymes that are required for germination.So they do not germinate.

Germinating seed will have building blocks of life called proteins. This will help the plant to grow. But at very high temp the protein loose its structure due to denaturation. Thus the boiled seed cannot grow into plant when it is boiled. got it!!!!!

SMILE

not every seed that is boiled - would not grow

If you refer to Boiling temp of water ( H2O)
it also changes with altitude, so the temperature could vary fromthe standard 100C 0r 212F

ther is more to it than boiling- not growing
it depends on what gets destroyed at what temperature
some things get destroed at a given point

DONT even have to reach any Boiling point

Some seeds requires high temperature to germinate

for example - pine doesnt germinate until fire - 415F
tamarind seeds needs to be boil in water to germinate

Because when the seed sowed whil loose enzymes that for grow

If you are talking about religion, you should go for the fastest growing weed. Because this is the trend. People like weed more than food when it comes to religion. Many religions claim that they are fastest growing. This is the only quality they tell about their religion and other stupid people bow before them after hearing this. So this is Kaliyuga and Fastest growing weed is more accepted than slowly growing food.

coz boiling denatures the proteins i.e. the essential enzymes that are required for germination of a seed .so boiled seeds do not germinate

No ! Not at all .Boiling can damage the fertility of the said seed.

Because you killed the seed. Temperatures over about 140 degrees F unravels the protiens within the DNA and thus kills the genetic material.

High temperatures destroy cell walls and change proteins. If the cells cannot functions then life cannot exist.
