Hard-coated seeds should not necessarily be discarded, as their tough exterior can protect them from environmental stressors and pests. However, if they show signs of damage, disease, or if they are significantly old and unviable, it may be best to discard them. Testing for germination can also help determine their viability before deciding to discard them. Ultimately, evaluate their condition and potential for growth before making a decision.
Its hard
Seeds of legumes, such as beans and peas, typically have hard seed coats. Other species with hard seed coats include sunflowers, squash, and nuts like acorns and pecans. Hard seed coats help protect the seed from injury and ensure proper germination conditions are met.
Seed-producing plants have a hard, protective shell that safeguards them from getting damaged.
No, a seed coat and seed membrane are not the same. The seed coat is the hard outer layer of a seed that protects the embryo inside, while the seed membrane is a thin layer that surrounds the embryo within the seed coat.
The hard covering of the seed, known as the seed coat, is primarily made up of two tissue layers: the outer layer called the testa and the inner layer called the tegmen. The testa provides protection to the seed while the tegmen helps regulate water uptake and protects the embryo inside.
A mango seed will not germinate if it is coated with pomade. This will prevent the seed from germinating and growing.

Seed that is coated to make it easier to handle/plant
Not much. If my memory serves me correctly (I used to work in the vegetable seed industry), it should be less than 15 grams, assuming the seed is raw and not coated.
The hard covering of a seed is called the seed coat. It serves to protect the seed from damage, dehydration, and pathogens.
Yes, seed coated corn and soybeans are generally insurable under most crop insurance policies, as long as they meet specific requirements set by the insurance provider. It is important for farmers to check with their insurance agent to ensure that their coated seeds are eligible and to understand any specific conditions or limitations that may apply. Additionally, proper documentation of the seed treatment may be necessary for coverage.
Goes back to Gen.3:15 "...enmity between thy seed and her seed..," i.e., between the children of the devil and the children of God.
A pumpkin might fit that description. One might be the almond,which is a type of peach of which the flesh is discarded.The other could be the coconut.The outercase is removed to reveal the nut(seed) I don't think the fruit is discarded as such. In some cases, the seeds are the fruit and the rind/shell/cover is discarded. An example would be the pomegranate. Coffee. The coffee bean is covered with a sweet flesh when it's harvested. That's washed away and only the seed - the coffee bean - is used.
