Question

How will you separate husk or dirt particles from a given sample of pulses before cooking?

Answer 1

Winnowing:

• The winnowing process can separate husk or soil particles.
• Wind or blowing air is used to separate the heavier and lighter components of a combination.
• In this procedure, a mixture of husk and grain seeds is placed on a plate and let fall from a height up to our shoulders.
• As the combination descends, the lighter husk is removed by blowing air, and the heavier grain seeds fall to form the mixture.

Thus, in this way, husk or dirt particles are removed from a given sample of pulses before cooking.
