Nyiru Gadang Penampi Beras - Set of 3

Nyiru, also known as a sieve, tray, plate, and strainer, is a traditional Malaysian tool used for sifting rice, grains, and other food items. It is typically made of bamboo or rattan and shaped into rectangular or round shapes that are tightly woven.

In the East Coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, Nyiru is known as gadang, badang, or penampi beras. Nyiru also has different types and shapes, depending on the material used and its function. The shapes available are round, rectangular, and triangular.

Rectangular-shaped Nyiru is made of bamboo skin and is used by farmers to sift rice, separating the grains from the husks. This process is also known as winnowing rice. Rice is placed in the Nyiru and shaken in the air. The husks are lighter than the grains and will be blown away by the wind, leaving the grains behind.

Nyiru is a versatile and beautiful material that can be used to create a variety of decorative items. With a little creativity, you can use Nyiru to add a touch of traditional Malaysian style to your home.
