<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 12546831, member: 2844&quot;]When you winnow, you shake the grain or even throw it up in the air and the chaff is blown off by the wind. This is repeated several times to get all the chaff out. If a winnowing basket or tray were like a sieve, everything would fall through and the chaff would still be mixed with the grain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen documentaries where this scoop-like shape was used for winnowing, so that is a correct description imo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
