In greater Seattle, curly or bitter dock are abundant. I have heard of harvesting the seeds for flour. Has anyone done this? How have you separated the seed from the brown papery covering?

I have not tried to process curly dock before but I too have a good amount of dock plants in my area.

This thread makes it seem that the winnowing process may be tricky.

If you do try, I'd love a follow up on your experience!

That’s a tough one, I too would like to know how this is done. All the videos I watch the chaff is Grinded up with seeds and eaten that way.

You are HERE! The other map is obviously wrong. Better confirm with this tiny ad:
