I've also seen this term used by Massimo Montanari and Toussaint-Samat to
describe the mixed grains themselves, as compared to the bread.  Apparently
there was a practice of sowing several grain types in the same field to
guarantee some sort of production.  If one grain (say, oats) failed, then
the other grains (barley, rye or whatever) couls still be harvested and sold
or used.
