a substance-and-force composition that nourishes the metabolic-limb organisation in human being and animal. Everything that grows between these poles in stem and leaf into food-fruit — 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 principle: to stimulate sense activity in calves, to give them a glossy coat, the fodder 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 what is called for; for the unfolding of power in horses, it is "the oats that sting." Everything that develops in the vegetative realm as stem and leaf — in herbs, grass, clover, etc. — is the staple feed for the milk-giving cow living in strict rhythm.
