When i made roasted seeds, i rinsed and rubbed them in a strainer and most of the stringy stuff came off.
I got a lot of it off that way too but this worked well for the tomatoes (which are of course much smaller)
Interesting about the melon seeds. I guess “in the wild” the seeds sit and ferment inside the melon.
That seems to be it I’ll bet!
Never thought about fermenting. Wonder if they would sprout without it. Ive dried lots of seeds on paper towels. Worked well for me.
The internet says they will but that this can increase germination rate
