Basil Seed Separator
Say goodbye to separating seeds from chaff by hand like a peasant lol!
This year I found myself with an overabundance of basil and couldn’t stand the thought of letting all those seeds “go to waste”. However, the idea of threshing and separating it all manually broke me… so, I designed and created this handy thresher to streamline the process…. You know… Instead of just accepting that I have more seed than I could plant in a decade.
It works just as you'd imagine: load it up with basil seed pods stripped from the stalks, pop on the lid, and turn the crank. Seeds magically fall out the bottom!
The tolerances are designed so that the full pods are too large to pass under the paddles, meaning they get shredded, while the loose seeds are agitated until they fall through the sieve. The sieve holes are sized to let the seeds through while keeping most of the chaff out. Some chaff does sneak through, but overall, it does a great job of separating them. Once the pods are empty of seeds, they can slide under the paddles without being shredded further.
