Chewing is the process by which food is crushed and ground by teeth. It is the first step of digestion. The process of chewing has three main functions: to increase the surface area of the food to allow more efficient food processing by enzymes, to break down the food into smaller, more manageable pieces for swallowing, and to stimulate saliva production.
