What are the materials used in winnowing?
1 Answer
Winnowing is the process that separates the grain from the chaff in agriculture, and was mechanized during the Industrial Revolution. A common material before that time was the winnowing basket, used to throw the grain into the air and catch it again so that the chaff would blow away. On 1stDibs, shop antique winnowing baskets from some of the world’s top sellers.
