The Grains We Eat
The Grains We Eat We humans eat grain. What is grain? Grain is cereal. Grains are cultivated for the edible parts, bran and seeds. Man is dependent on grain but the plants that produce the grain is just as dependent on man. One without the other would have a hard existence. When man and grain discovered each other is counted in eons of years. Grain is more dependent on man than the dog. Grain has mutated to the point it has great difficulty in seeding self. The seed adheres so steadfast to its stalk that the original seeder the wind can no longer sow the grain. The grains that man eats are millet, oats, barley, wheat the primitives; rye and corn the classic period grains; and rice a new comer. With the exception of rice the other grains have feed man with a staple food for nearly ten thousand years. Cereal grains provide more energy worldwide than any other type of crop, although soy bean and peanut both legumes are beginning to encroach on the cereal grains territory. The invention of the plow is the most important invention to date. The discovery of electricity, the building of the railroads and airplanes, and the development of the computer are all less far reaching than the plow. Without the plow there would be no civilization. The plow is more important than language. The opening up of the earth with a plow, even a crude plow, made it possible for man to take charge of his destiny. The importance of the plow is seen in how the Hindus hold it blasphemy to eat the flesh of the ox. The ox is a sacred animal only because the ox is indispensable to the plowing with the plow. To eat the ox would kill the ability to produce the grain needed to feed the people. The history of mankind is written in the history of grain. Grain the great nourisher's of mankind. Man needs his bread. To get bread man needs flour. To get flour man needs grain. "This is the real thing! You can use an egg and slightly less milk for a different texture. It is also possible to use water instead of milk and buttermilk, but this makes a much denser loaf.
