A person probably made some fermented wheat beverage on accident and thought its worth repeating.
I once made prison wine by accident by leaving a bottle of Coke under my bed for a couple weeks.
I didn’t drink it but it smelled really strong.
Because if you let it sprout a bit, then roast it, then boil it, then let it sit…
Well you get beer.
Plus rice also needs to be polished, which is a not insignificant amount of processing.
Mmm, shiny rice.
They polish rice!?
wheat has almost twice as much protein. A wheat-fed peasant, you’re probably going to be stronger and healthier than a riice-fed peasant.
The communal sponge was a feature, not a bug 😂
Beer. It was always beer.
Yeah let me just replace these rolling wheat hills with a rice farm. It’d totally work because wheat and rice have the same growing conditions. Dumbass
Fucken owned 'em
Meanwhile the Inca: 🥔
Taters? Boil’em, mash’em, stick’em in a stew?
Which proves Middle Earth was in South America.
Also freeze drying them first. Ancient taters were poisonous, since they are nightshade. And freeze drying them would reduce the toxins.
Wheat is not that difficult to process.
Wheat is just fancy grass. People learned how to process wheat before they learned how to wipe their asses with a communal sponge on a stick.
Wheat calories are what unlocked the big brain thinking that first said, “Guys, let’s put just ONE sponge on a stick. And share it!”
Rice is just fancy grass, too. So are oats, barley, and rye. All fancy grass
Corn is the fanciest grass
My bamboo fields disagree.
Bamboo is just world dominating grass tbh
Exactly. Not crazy that ancient humans would see them and smash the seeds up and eat.
Wheat doesn’t need to be grown in a marsh.
Rice needs very wet and fairly warm conditions to grow whereas wheat is a cool weather crop and doesn’t need as much water
The stupid level of processing is…boiling it? Same as rice, people only discover processing it a bit later.
If you think about it then boiling is not that easy.
There is almost no way to boil something until you discover pottery and ceramic, and this is quite advanced tech for many early civilizations.
The Haida on the west coast of Canada put red hot rocks in their canoes to render fish. You underestimate humans ingenuity.
Humans are very clever. Sometimes I feel very clever because I have learned so many cool facts and skills with the internet, and then I think about all the knowledge I hold that people of the past managed to figure out from scratch, and it blows my mind
“be wheat” yeah like anyone here has ever been wheat
buncha posers
