I have a box of these seeds all mixed together. What is an easy way to hull them?

Castor Bean question
Do you mean they are still in the brown seed pods?
I mean the pricky seed pod...
If it is brown and dried out, just pull it apart. (you may want to use gloves as it can be prickly). It will divide into about 3 sections.
you will see 1 seed in each section. Use break each section apart and take out the seed.
Thanks much....

You will need gloves,... i have poisoned my self 3 times this year touching the seeds and the plant.
And it was NOT a good experience it lasted for a few days each time and i was in the bed with the worse migraine headache i have ever had and couldn't hold anything down.
to say the least it was no fun at all,...the first 2 times it happened i didn't know what was going on but the next time it happened i figured it out.
So i would recommend to anyone to use gloves when handling this seed or plant.

I personally, don't use gloves and have never had a problem but everyone reacts differently so it doesn't hurt.
I want to offer them for SASBE.. Maybe they will be willing to take pods also. Save me a job that I don't want to do with my arthritis hands.
LOL
