Humans have been baking bread for 14,000 years. WorldBakingDay
Thousands of years before the advent of agriculture, people were already making bread. That's the surprising conclusion of a new study based on a curious find in northeastern Jordan.
At its most basic, bread is the combination of processed cereal grains and water that have been baked, fried, or steamed. The process leaves behind telltale chemical and structural properties that researchers can use to identify the staple food. And that's just what archaeologists found when they investigated a 14,000-year-old site known as Shubayqa 1 in Jordan's Black Desert.
With the help of a scanning electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons to return incredibly intricate zoomed-in images, the researchers identified 24 pieces of char that were decidedly breadlike. Though the bread's exact grain remains unknown, its cellular structure resembles cereal grain species such as wild einkorn, rye, or millet, and it was likely an unleavened, flatbread. Some pieces incorporated root starches as well.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
