Re: seeds for roasting
Glenn
You couls go out and get the 1/2" wire mesh fabric
and build a round container with the mesh around the
circumfrence of it. fill it with seeds and pulp and
hook ti to a motor or drill and let it spin. The pulp
should go through the mesh and the seeds will be caught
be the mesh.
just a thought. it might be more work building it and
perfecting it than it take to just clean the seeds by
hand.
