Mitä tarkoittaa
Chaff is the husks of grains and grasses that are separated during threshing. In agricultural practices, chaff is often considered a byproduct of grain processing. It can be used as animal bedding, mulch, or compost material. Chaff can also refer to any useless material or debris in a figurative sense, as in the expression 'separating the wheat from the chaff,' which means distinguishing valuable things from worthless ones. The term originates from Old English 'ceaf', which denotes the husks of grains.
