The olive tree is a good example.
====Agricultural Products====

  * Milk
  * cream, 
  * honey, 
  * [[celet]], [[qemeh]] = flour((despite the claim to the contrary that we made in the [[berasit]] page, the Hyberi might have indeed had two quality grades of flour. Or the two words may indicate flour from different grains.))
  * wine.

Many of these products rely on domesticated [[animals]]
