Grain is hard to eat which means it defends itself well. Water drives it and turns the waterwheel; designed to prevent from jamming easily: *mills were very common because it was a lot of work doing the grinding by hand. They could leaven bread: by sourdough (dough that has yeast culture already) Was more common among barbarians greeks and romans did not like this technique much: can also be leavened by beer. Has yeast in it; again more common among the barbarians because romans and greeks did not drink beer. Takes less heat therefore less fuel; they had a shortage of wood in both egypt and sumerian cultures and therefore saving energy. Europe to france, germany and spain and the vines are still decedents from roman grapes they would eat vegetables: can eat them fresh there was no maize (corn) because it was mexican and unknown to.
