"The Oldest Recipe Created by Mankind"

14,000 thousand year old recipe- What's New (old) Monday

I stumbled across this article while working on another project. We were looking at the history of fermented foods (FYI, I have a pending Probiotic Cookbook coming out too!) and were trying to see how old bread was. It turns out that archeologists found some bread in a fire pit in Jordan that was 14,000 years old. Little charred bread crumbs were found in the pit. They were analyzed by a lab in England and determined to be an ancient type of breath made with grains and tubers.

This is a quick read, so I hope you take the time to check out the article. Food history can be fascinating.

Here is the article:
