A system for treating oilseeds prior to solvent extraction in which the oilseeds are treated in a microwave dryer to raise their temperature to 140.degree. F., passed hot through two-high rolls to crack the hulls and beans, the hulls are removed in an air sorter while at 140.degree. F., and while still heated, the beans are sent to a flaking roll. The stream from the process to the solvent extractor has less than 5% fines.
