After threshing by machine Sri Lankan farmers still use the traditional hand winnowing methods to remove chaff and stalks that the machine missed. The seeds are tossed up by hand using a scoop and are allowed to drop in the breeze (natural air current). The seeds drop down and the lighter chaff is blown to one side by the breeze.
