NOT GREEN: This is the oldest cultivated grain - Here is its "history"
The article discusses the history and significance of barley (ječam), highlighting it as one of the oldest cultivated grains used in human diets. It mentions archaeological evidence suggesting barley was grown during the Stone Age and was central to early civilizations in Mesopotamia. The article references religious texts like the Bible, which describe the Promised Land as fertile with barley, grapes, olives, etc. It also notes the spread of barley cultivation across regions such as North Africa, the Nile Valley, and Europe, reaching Finland over 6,000 years ago. The text cites Jared Diamond,
JEČAM je jedno od najstarijih zrna korišćeno u ishrani. Smatra se da je ječam bio jedna od glavnih namirnica u ishrani ljudi još pre 17.000 godina i da je verovatno počeo da se gaji pre ostalih žita.
Tragovi ukazuju da je gajen u kamenom dobu, a prve civilizacije u dolinama Tigra i Eufrata su koristile ječam za ishranu i dobijanje piva.
U Bibliji je obećana zemlja opisana kao „zemlja pšenice, ječma, loze, masline i pomorandži“.
U oblasti Plodnog polumeseca koja obuhvata današnji Irak, deo Sirije, Jordana, Izraela i Libana se datira ozbiljnije gajenje ječma, koje se širilo u dva pravca, na sever Afrike i dolinu Nila, te na Evropu, gde je ječam stigao do Finske pre 6000 godina.
U knjizi „Oružje, mikrobi i čelik“, koja je dobila Pulicerovu nagradu, se pisac Džared Dajmond osvrće na značaj ječma u održanju evroazijske civilizacije i smatra da je uz druge odomaćene vrste biljaka i pripitomljene životinje, sve zajedno omogućilo preživljavanje i pokoravanje drugih naroda i civilizacija.
Danas se ječam koristi kao sirovina u industriji piva, za ishranu domaćih životinja i delimično u ishrani ljudi. Po površini na kojoj se gaji, spada u četvrtu najsejaniju kulturu, posle kukuruza, pšenice i pirinča.
