Wheat

Nature · Objects

A staple grain of bread and beer. Demeter’s gift-talk and farm tallies meet the same plant without one wheat religion.

  • Wheat is used in Medicine.

    Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica lists wheat (pyros) among cereal drugs: flour and related preparations used as remedies. First-century pharmacological use of the staple, not Demeter’s gift and not one wheat religion.

    from Pedanius Dioscorides · De Materia Medica, 1st century CE
