I wash the
seeds of and rinse them several times to get the pumpkin guts off of them. The in the final rinse water I add a
tablespoon of bleach. This seems
to prevent them from getting moldy as they dry out. I dry them on an old window screen suspended under a heater
vent. This helps them dry evenly
with good air circulation. If I
had a food dehydrator I would use that because you could process more seeds
quickly that way. Chris

Message----- A couple of
questions; When drying seeds is it better to dry them without washing, wash in
plain water, wash in a specific solution, then dry? I noticed the seeds that
came from a 504 Nesbit (BigOrange)(self pollinated) were VERY dark brown, a lot
of the seeds had germinated inside thepumpkin though and I was wondering if the
seeds were brown or were something caused by the germination starting? Dave
Bhaskaran, these were the seeds I received from you. |
