Hi guys,


I just started winnowing my wheat.

I realise that most of it has its husk still attached to the seed.

I tried rubbing it between my hands a little bit. It doesn't seem to have much effect.

Does anyone know what to do in such a situation?

From what I read, it seems I could soak it, but the problem is that I would then have to dry it before I could grind it, I guess.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I just remembered another way to dehull grains. Burn them!
