Notes

The simplest way to rinse seeds of strings is to place them in a bowl and fill with water. Swish the seeds around with your fingers to loosen them from the strings. The seeds will float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove them. (If a few strings remain attached, it’s no problem.)
