I grew some celery and let it go to seed.  Anyone have advice for best way to get the seeds off for use?  It is tedious and lots of sorting to get the leaves and other detritus sorted out.

    Looks like a lot of work for the results, not sure how to separate the seeds from the dust.  Might need multiple different screen sizes.

    Detritus is a pretty fancy word.  I'm hoping @SGH can somehow relate that to deanus.  From there your issue would be solved.    =)

    scroll to the 5 minute mark to separate the dust from the seeds

    My vote... =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I'm jealous of your garden. Just caught up with the WAYDRN thread and saw the 'maters you posted a while back.

    I thought AZ was all barren desert?? :)

    Enough water and anything will grow :). I have to shade my bell peppers from the sun, but tomatoes love it.

    Ha! It’s a world gone mad. People are doing all kinds of crazy things. For the crazy eggheads here, we get to eat new things.

    No joke. Saw a video the other day on how cinnamon is processed by hand. Just amazing.

    Thresh it then get yourself a Carter day grain cleaner.  

    If you can thresh the seed out of the pods, dropping it from a height with some cross flow air will separate most of the trash or mass other than grain (MOG).

    I am pretty good at justifying my purchases, but $3k for a trial run at making my own celery seed makes me pause :lol:

    I will try a fan first.

    Fish has good advice here - basic principles of mechanical harvesting of grain: thresh, shake with a sieve, and airflow.  The last two are what really cleans the sample.
