In exactly the same way that winnowing fans have been used all over the world from ancient times to the 19th century. A winnowing fan is used to throw up the threshed grain into the air in order for the breeze to carry away the lighter chaff (flaky bits that are inedible). In medieval Europe, winnowing fans were in the form of flat, shallow baskets, but in ancient Egypt they were shaped scoops of wood. In Europe, the grain was then caught again in the same basket, but it seems that the Egyptians simply dropped the grain into a large pile on the ground.
