Put them in a bowl and lightly toss in the air ( outside lol ) or used a cupped hand, chaf should fly away and the seeds stay behind
I sifted through a screen for the bigger stuff (hardware cloth would work). Then used a 5 gal bucket and a leaf blower on really low settings. Chaff is much lighter than the seeds so it blows out easily.
Tupperware box with a stone in it and shake it after then blow it it so the light pieces fly away and u can collect the seeds
You can rub them between your hands (might want some kind of work gloves)over a container on a breezy day or with a light fan. The seeds should drop and the chaff blow away.
If you are quick about it, and the conditions are right, you can separate them in a bucket of water. The lighter chaff will float, the seeds should sink; pour it off and then spread out the seeds to dry as quickly as possible. They won’t germinate from this one water exposure, presuming they can dry quickly.
If space isn’t an issue, you also just… not (so long as all the material chaff is dry). You don’t have to separate them. In nature, these puppies just fall to the ground and are exposed to the elements for three seasons before germinating. I do this with zinnia seeds. It’s surprisingly hard to remove the petals from the actual seeds, and the petals don’t take up much space, so they are sown with last year’s petals intact. Just a thought.
