Dear folks, what is the first food on earth? What is the most basic food? It is glucose that comes from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen and hydrogen come from water. Carbon comes from carbon dioxide. These miracles named plants change these elements into a compound by photosynthesis which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy, and that is our most basic food. Are you not thrilled with this phenomenon?
