「土礱」早期客家人家家戶戶必備的磨穀器具哦，土礱的主要作用是把收割下來的稻穀去殼、取得營養的糙米，不過電力碾米設備啟用後，這種需要人力拉動的磨穀工具就乏人問津了。

詩璟姐姐帶我們拜訪苗粟客庄碩果僅存的釘礱師傅林裕祥老師傅，除了製作，同學還親自動手磨穀，雖然說土礱磨穀的速度很快，但是要磨得輕鬆可就需要一些小技巧，這些小技巧又是什麼原理讓人省力的呢？跟著遊客家搞科學的腳步，你就可以弄清楚哦~

What is a Earthen Thresher? Most students today probably have no idea! Hakka ancestors lived mostly on the farm, and a Earthen Thresher was essential to each household. Its main function is to remove rice husks and obtain the nutritious brown rice (or rough rice). But ever since the introduction of electric-thrashers, manual Earthen Threshers have lost its popularity.
