Zoreh

From Halachipedia
  1. Separating the chaff from the grain using the force of wind is the Melacha of Zoreah (winnowing). [1] This Melacha also includes separating any undesired matter from a food by use of wind. [2]
  2. Separating undesired matter from food by use of artifical wind is also Zoreah. Thus, one may not blow on a mixture of peanuts and their thin outer shells to remove the shells. [3]
  3. One should not blow against the wind causing the saliva to become mist. [4]
