HOME OF CEREALS UNKNOWN
history Has No Record Of Where Most
Important Human Food Had
Its Origin.

The origin Of wheat is lost in hoary
antiquity. Even the original home Of
the cereal plants Of which bread Is
being made Is not known, all the re-
searches and hypothesis notwithstand-
ing. Where wheat, spelt, rye, barley,
oats, buckwheat, ETC., first offered man
their grainy ears for good is an I'M
solved problem. But that originally
bread was not roasted or baked, but
eaten as dough or paste, may be in
ferred from it's relation with the word
'Fbroth," both Of these words being
derived from the root "breowan,"
"bru," to brew. In all probability 1t
was originally the boiled coarse meal
with nothing added to it but salt. The
1eavening and baking Of the bread was
q later development. The origin Of
these processes Is matter of specula-
ton; but so much Is certain that bak-
Ing preceded the feavening Of the bread
that causes it to rise; also that the
original form Of the bread was not
the loaf, but kind Of thin, fiat cake
like the matzoths, or unleavened
bread of the Jews, or the tortillas of
the Mexicans. Like these, it was prob
ably roasted upon intensely heated fiat
stones.
With the discovery of the leaven the
fiat cake increased In height until 1t
assumed the form Of our loaf.
