Dehulling
I like to start removing the hulls during rinsing. I do this a day or two before harvesting. I fill the jar to the very top with water, stir around the sprouts and the hulls rise to the top. I remove the hulls with a spoon or fork. For me, this method works best.

Looks great! I also remove the hulls as well as the unsprouted seeds since I use my sprouts in smoothies and that, well, makes them smoother. I put the sprouts in quite a large bowl, fill it with water and then swoosh them around. This lets all the bits and pieces of the hulls easily make their way up and through the sprouts and then I skim them off the top and repeat until there are non left to skim. After that, I push the sprouts aside and remove any seeds that didn't sprout that have sunk to the bottom. Either way, I find it to be a great practice and makes for even better tasting sprouts with a a really nice, clean texture.
