hullers
Strawberry cap strippers
Hullers are machines or tools that remove hulls—the outer coverings of seeds, nuts, or grains.
Strawberry hullers extract the leafy stem and core.
Industrial hullers process rice, oats, or coffee beans at scale.
The term also applies to workers who hull by hand: The hullers worked through bushels of almonds.
