Threshing
Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of
cereal grain (or other crop) from the scaly, inedible
chaff that surrounds it. It is the step in grain preparation after
harvesting and before
winnowing, which separates the loosened chaff from the grain. Threshing does not remove the
bran from the grain.
