| Description |
This photo of two young Ethiopian farmers winnowing their grain also shows the magnificent tree I discussed several photos ago. The tree is visible in the upper left side of the photo. What is winnowing? Well, after the grains have been removed from the stalks by threshing (in this case, by oxen), the grain is collected in a basket and allowed to fall to the ground, a process called winnowing. Winnowing separates the grain from the chaff. As the mixed grain and chaff fall from the basket, wind carries away the lighter chaff while the grain, which is heavier, falls into a pile on the ground. Chaff, in case you're wondering, is " the inedible, dry, scaly protective casings of the seeds of cereal grain . . ." Unless you're a fanatic about getting your fiber, be thankful someone goes to the trouble of separating the wheat from the chaff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnowing |
