the list of products here are interesting to me for a number of reasons. i
am fairly sure that wheat was used for human consumption, barley for feeding
animals, vines for the production of wine, figs...???, just a snack i
suppose, pomegranates...???? , olive oil for lamps etc, and honey for
sweetener.

what i am wondering about is if anyone knows of particular cultic or
pharmaceutical uses for pomegranates or figs.

thanks,

Jim
