a substance-and-force composition that nourishes the metabolic-limb organisation in man and animal. Everything that grows between these poles in stem and leaf into food-crop — such as kohlrabi (stem), Brussels sprouts (bud), or leafy vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, spinach, etc.) — nourishes and strengthens the rhythmic middle. In biodynamic farming it is common practice to follow this rule: to stimulate sense activity in calves and give them a gleaming coat, the feed carrot helps; for cows, the fodder beet; conversely, to stimulate their metabolic activity, to make them lively and eager to move, feeding with linseed is called for; for the unfolding of strength in horses it is "the oat that stings." Everything that in the vegetative realm develops as stem and leaf — in herbs, grass, clover, etc. — is the basic fodder for the cow living in strict rhythm, giving milk.
