Yesterday, we harvested a bunch of dill seeds from mature / dried seed heads. A lot of stems came off with the seeds when we removed them from the plant. This would be fine and dandy if we were saving seeds to plant next year, but I might want to use these seeds to flavor food to eat.
How to separate the stems from the seeds? I decided to try my screen-mesh strainer. Just dumped everything into the strainer. Wiggled and jiggled and shook it over a large bowl. Hey! It worked! There are still a few stems stuck to some of the seeds, but the majority of the stems did fall through the mesh, leaving the seeds behind.
