For several versions now, the plant raws have included definitions for pulses. In real life, the only edible parts of these plants are the seeds, and their raw definitions appear to be attempts to implement that, but they have two points of failure:

• No part of the plant that gathering could yield has an immediate use, so gathering is never allowed - the pods have a seed, but having a seed doesn't count as a use for the purposes of this rule.
• Even if gathering were allowed and could yield pods, there is no processing step to get seeds from the pods.

Both these points of failure could be fixed by a new job "Extract seeds":

• Performed at Farmer's Workshop.
• Uses the threshing labour and skill.
• Yields only the seeds that the plant growth contains and no other items.
• Requires a plant growth that has seeds but no other uses.
• Counts as a use for the plant growth for the purpose of determining whether gathering is allowed.
