The Greek mountain peasants also use good wholewheat bread as the foundation of their diet. Wherever you find good bread, the health and resistance of the people consuming it is better than among those living on white bread. Where white bread and rolls are the common fare, I have always found more bad health. True, white bread may not be the only reason for this, but it does share the blame for lack of good health.
One cannot imagine Ruth, a woman of biblical fame, having gleaned the valuable ears of grain from Boaz’ field, only to turn it into refined flour. The Book of Books reports that in ancient times the whole grain, barley or wheat, was ground in a stone mill, then honey was added to it and it was made into cakes.
