"Frumentum Indicum. Turky Wheat.
...Turky wheat doth nourish far lesse than either wheat, rie, barley, or
otes. The bread which is made thereof is meanly white, without
bran: it is hard and dry as Bisket is, and hath in it no clamminesse at
all; for which cause it is of hard digestion, and yeeldeth to the body
little or no nourishment... a more conuenient food for swine than for men."
