Turkey recreates and sells 5,000-year-old bread

Archaeologists in Turkey have successfully recreated a 5,000-year-old bread recipe, leading to its immediate sale and sparking interest in ancient grains. The bread, discovered during excavations in Kulluoba, was made with emmer flour and lentils, and was found charred and buried. The local bakery used a similar wheat variety to replicate the recipe, selling out the loaves quickly. The discovery has also prompted discussions about drought-resistant crops, as the region faces water scarcity and seeks to revive ancient wheat cultivation.
