The sifting of the outflow has yielded very large quantities of seeds and fruit. Analysis of these macro remains provides valuable information on the dietary practices of the castle's inhabitants. Which cereals, vegetables and fruits are most represented? Were these products local or were they imported? If it involves imported products, which regions do they come from and by what trade routes did they reach Beersel? Which herbs and spices were used in the kitchen? Is the social status of the castle's inhabitants reflected in the remains found? Are there plant residues present that provide information on the castle's surroundings?
