Hi there,
It's harvest season again, and that means separating seeds from pods. Now, the first couple years of doing this, I spent weeks separating the seeds out from the pods with a knife and a pair of tweezers. It was tedious, but I got great results. With the number of pods I have to process, that just isn't even an option. I remember having good luck using a strainer and a pestle last year. I've read about people using a blender set on low to separate the good seeds from the bad ones... but throwing my precious seed stock in a blender sounds like a vaguely terrifying idea. Any ideas?
