Not sure what the best way is. What worked for me is that I dried seeds for a day or two and put them in a ziplock bag. Threw them in the fridge crisper for about a month or so. I thinks they need that cold dormant period to break dormancy. Then put them in a slighly moist paper towel and put them back in fridge for a week or two. Pulled them out from there into a dark warm area and they began to sprout. Some of them sprouted in the fridge. Some of the seeds took up to a month or better to sprout, but I got about 90% germination rate.
