Question

What is the advantage of storing grain in wattle and daub baskets?

Answer 1

Wattle and daub baskets have holes on their surface. This keeps air circulating around the stored grains. The grains do not become moist and thus do not catch fungus. Moreover, there is less chance of insect attacks due to dry and airy conditions. The grains stored like this can remain in better condition for a longer period of time. Therefore, grains are stored in wattle and daub baskets.
