man did you just pinch them till they crushed? $250 how many did you crush? I would have asked here after you did a few. my bag seeds had a few lighter colored and they crshed easy just alittle pressure. I think thats what your looking to do. Not pich the hell out of them.

If you did loose them I feel for you man. If the seed isn"t crushed apart try putting them in water for 8-16hr then to the paper towel and see what ya get.
