Historical story

From the first wheat planted to the hot mix

If you've ever seen how corn was domesticated, you should understand that the process that led to wheat being planted in Africa and Asia was the same process followed by its American relative. However wheat posed a problem, the places where the wheat was planted soon became dry and nothing was born from there for several years. So the ancient Egyptians invented a technique that seemed quite efficient, it was called "bina", so that one property was divided in two, while one was "resting" the other was producing, and each year this was reversed. Even if half of the land wasn't producing, it ensured that the farms didn't dry up.

In the Middle Ages, around the time of the Crusades, they invented the "trina", the farm was divided into three, one part planted wheat, another vegetables and a third rested. The part where the vegetables were planted did not wear out, after all, they suck other nutrients from the earth. As a result, not only did production increase, but these vegetables became food for cattle, increasing meat consumption, allowing not only wheat, but ham and cheese for our mix.

The next innovations would only arrive today, where with genetic engineering it is possible to have two, and not just one, wheat crops per year, which doubles the production that there was before. In addition to renovating techniques that do not let the land lose its productivity.

It took thousands of years, but the hot mix turned out to be delicious.
