I find it intriguing that these out of date pitta breads are informing me that they contain 'Protein and Fibre.' It's almost as if we did not know this. I mean man first started making versions of bread about 15,000 BC, until now he has not known bread contained protein! How did we survive so long without knowing this?
As you know, the Natufians, in places like Lebanon, Jordon, were making a form of bread from a paste made from a type of Barley. This would be heated on stones and provided sustenance for hunter-gatherers. Some began to harvest Rye and other cereals, thus bread baking began, yet not once did they cry "Protein!" They just fed themselves are remained alive. Mind you, I am not sure that we would survive the type of breads they were making. However, my own version of flat bread, no longer suffered, would run them close. Possibly I ought to have used stones rather than a frying pan?
Cereals were slowly developed over the years, and in different places a variety of breads were to evolve. I suspect many would be healthier than the mass produced stuff avialble in supermarkets. Refined flour, additives, and chemicals do not make for pure bread. There again at my age I no longer care. If I am hungry, just feed me, any muck will do.in. To prove this, I am about to eat those with two out of date, reduced price sausages of unknown origin. Out of date rabbits lettuce will accompany this.
I think I may need Spanish Brandy afterwards...
