אלא מעתה חטין ועשאן קליות ה"נ דאסורין וכי תימא ה"נ והתניא חיטין ועשאן קליות מותרין אלא כמים מה מים שלא נשתנו מברייתן אף אוכל שלא נשתנה מברייתו

According to this reasoning wheat that was roasted, it too should be permitted; and should you maintain that that is so, behold it has been taught: Wheat that was roasted are permitted! Rather like water: Just as water has not been changed from its natural form [is permitted to Jews] so too the food must not have been changed from its natural form.
