/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Literally every grain/cereal crop that exists is utter shit and not fit for human consumption. It has always been slave/peasant food since agricultural society has existed. The royal classes in basically every European society got meat and mead/wine and the peasants got bread and beer. In Medieval times, hard wheat flatbread would be used as plates and then thrown to the dogs or beggars after a meal, the idea of eating it would be absurd. It's completely empty calories and it's literally not edible without adding moisture back into it, or grinding it up.

This is why they shill it so hard, muh food pyramid, muh cereal is good for you (even though it's legally mandated to have vitamins and minerals added in many places and is inedible without milk), muh whole grains. It's ALL garbage. The human race has been subjected to literally 5000+ years of Babylonian grain brain agriculture propaganda and sadly I don't see this improving anytime soon.

Stop eating grains. If you want a good cheap healthy staple crop that is easy to grow, process and prepare, that's what potatoes are for.
