REPLOOD 12 x Saom Steamed Lentils 360 g Glass Pack

Steamed seared lentils After careful selection of seeds, our company has selected this particular variety of lentils. Lentils are the seeds of an annual herbaceous plant native to Asia and the Mediterranean, belonging to the papilionaceae family. Their botanical name "Lens" comes from the lens shape of the seed. The fruit is a short rectangular pod containing two or three seeds with a lenticular shape, flattened and varying in colour from yellow to greenish to brown. It is a very old crop plant. Lentils have always been consumed, thanks to their easy availability, high shelf life and low cost. It is considered a good omen to eat a plate of lentils during the New Year's Eve dinner when they join the zampone and above all for the amazing value attributed: this is due to the ancient custom of giving, at the end of the year, a scarsella (the typical bag for storing coins) full of lentils. The wish was that each grain would turn into a coin, thus making the recipient of the gift rich and fortunate. 12 x Saom Steamed Lentils 360g Glass packaging 12 x 360 g
