  1. I’ve got raw celastrus paniculatus seeds which arrived opened during shipping. After removing the chaff how is the best way to clean the seeds before consuming? Want to remove germs and bacteria but how do we do this without destroying the integrity of the seed? I certainly don’t want to nuke them! Should i put in hot frying pan for a minute or 2?
