Addendum to the above NATURAL EUCHARIST: ‘after-ripening’ of grain seeds is an aspect of ‘natural eucharist’, which involves the structuring of water components into the protein/ carbohydrate chemistry of grain seeds, a mode of natural processing of the water already accessible in grain seeds; natural seed-moisture facilitates seed-germ vigor and food nutrition of grains.
Kiln-drying grain intervenes natural ‘chillcuring’ (after-ripening), denatures protein and stymies the natural weight and nutritional benefits of seed after-ripening.
Farmers especially, should be told about this science! Many already know from experience.
