Expeller properties The triangular seed is expelled including the seedcoat. Carefully remove any stones and other dirt before processing. The seeds should be well dried after harvesting in a thin layer in a dry place for 2 weeks until about 8% moisture content. The angular seed easily results in bridge formation in the seed inlet funnel. Assist with a small stick the flow of the seeds.
