What is the purpose of winnowing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Separating grains from husk or light waste

In winnowing, a mixture of grain and chaff is dropped or tossed in moving air. The lighter chaff and waste are blown away, while the heavier grains fall down. Therefore, its purpose is to separate grains from husk or light waste. Irrigation supplies water to crops; it does not clean grain. Exam tip: Remember winnowing as a post-harvest method of cleaning grain.
