'Val di Nièvole' Lentils
- Product number: 187010
- Origin: Asia Minor
- Latin: Lens culinaris, also known as Lens esculenta
For a general impression or as a sprout vegetable, a simple lentil variety is good enough. For successful cultivation, we have introduced this North Italian variety to the Low Countries. In our country, the lentil is not yet as well-known as a pulse. Cultivation is easy, and the harvest is reasonable! You are sowing history, as lentils were eaten in "Asia Minor" around 9000 BC. In the last 500 years, lentils in Europe have been partly replaced by peas.
