Threshing & Winnowing Seed Lots of seed comes in pods, or with feathery bits attached. Often the answer is to winnow. Because the bits are lighter than the seed, they blow away in a breeze. Harvest . . . ...Thresh . . . . Once dry, jump all over them and you'll get lots of seed mixed with broken up stem & pods. For things like oats and chard that have tough glumes or are well-attached to the stems, a great trick is to stomp and stamp it on a rubber mat. The rubber grips the plant material but is soft enough to stop the seeds being damaged.
So you've got this pile of stems and stalks and seeds - shake the pile & the seeds will fall to the bottom, and you can just pull off most of the big bits of rubbish now.
