Sieve
(Redirected from Sieving)
Sieve is a tool that has been used since ancient times to separate and size particles. It consists of a mesh of fine wires or threads, which allows smaller particles to pass through while larger ones are retained. Sieves are used in cooking, in the separation of solid materials, and in scientific research, among other applications.
History[edit | edit source]
The use of sieves dates back to prehistoric times. Archaeological evidence suggests that sieves were used in the preparation of food, in the separation of grains, and in other tasks. The ancient Egyptians, for example, used sieves in the preparation of bread and beer. The Greeks and Romans also used sieves in their cooking and in the separation of materials.
