In grasses (including cereals such as rice, barley, oats and wheat), the ripe seed is surrounded by thin, dry, scaly bracts (called glumes, lemmas and paleas), forming a dry husk (or hull) around the grain.he process of loosening the chaff from the grain so as to remove it is called threshing â traditionally done by milling or pounding. Separating remaining loose chaff from the grain is called winnowing â traditionally done by repeatedly tossing the grain up into a light wind which gradually blows the lighter chaff away.
