Actually, if you pound/grind the seeds, add water, and let it sit for a
few days, you will wind up with a sourdough starter. Put it on a slab
next to a campfire and you'll have bread. I suspect both bread and
alcohol (which are both products of yeast fermentation) were discovered by
accident in much the same way.
