The cultivation of cereals is reported to be very old. It
dates back to the Neolithic era.
Initially the seeds were being consumed raw.
a lot of time passed until the way of preparing bread
was discovered. For example how flour was made from
wheat and in turn how the flour mixed with water was
transformed to mush.
It is certain that the first bread was azyme.

FRUMENTY-TRACHANAS
PREPARATION:
The homemade preparation of frumenty is taking place mainly
during summer and usually in August. In order to make 5 kg of
frumenty we use 7.5 of wheat flour, 4, 5 kg fresh milk and 100
gr salt.
We boil the milk and when it gets cool we blend with the flour
and the salt. We knead the mix and we separate it in small
pieces that we leave for 1 day in a shady place in order to get
dry.
The next day we rub every little piece of frumenty in a special
grater and we leave the grated pieces in a table for 2-3 days in
order to lose their wetness. Eventually we store the product
in glass made vases.
