How did people’s reverence for baked goods begin? Probably, at one point the ancient people were left without sustenance in the form of meat and vegetables. Both types of food spoil quite quickly, especially in the absence of modern refrigerators. In
order not to be left to starve, people used cereals and cereal crops, that is, baked bread. It has helped hundreds of communities and peoples feed themselves in the
