seeds Removing seeds from placenta after dry/mostly dry

Hello there, figured I'd drop a line in here to ask about how to go about isolating seeds after all removed and dried out? I have trays and trays of cores where I just popped the whole placenta out of the peppers seeds and all intact, but how to separate the seeds effectively at this point? Wish I had went and fermented the cores at this point instead of being stuck with these seeds bound the to placenta in large numbers.. They've sat weeks btw. I also have a dehydrator if that would help at 95deg or so to crisp up the gummy placenta that binds the seeds..

It's been at least 4weeks, and yeah I learned the labeling after trial and error lol.. But yeah they're still bound at the where the taproot comes out or the seed-where it's connected to the placenta..placebta still pliable but seeds are bone dry

Put gloves on, rub them between your fingers... seeds should fall right out.

That’s a ton of seeds. Wow! How did you get the placentas to come out whole?

Skillful scissor work my friend! Lol. That's only about half of just that one strain! I quit saving the seeds after that..

I always just roll the placenta around between my fingers, and the seeds just fall off.
 
Of course, I usually do that after they have naturally air dried over the winter.

Never thought of using scissors. It looks like a lot of seeds for sure.

I let the placenta completely dry in a Aji Largo Rocoto before prying the seeds loose this fall. I know this doesn't apply to the Anuums, Chinense, Baccatum, etc., but the seeds in a Pubescen really want out wet. They lay so tight against the placenta that there seems considerable bonding by the time it's fully dehydrated.
 
I broke about half the seeds trying to pry them loose.

I have noticed this effect myself.. That's why I almost thought of rehydration for a few lol
