Threshing can be done manually using a process called ‘Winnowing’.
Winnowing is based on the principle that chaff being lighter is blown away by wind whereas, grains being heavier fall back. In this process, grains are separated from chaff by throwing into the air. Chaff gets carried away by wind, while grains fall back.
