Gourmet mountain lentils brown

The gourmet lentils belong to the oldest cultivated crops. These aromatic legumes have a sweetish, peppery flavor and they take up well the aroma of herbs and spices. After cooking, the lentils still have a pleasant and somewhat crunchy bite to them. Rapunzel has been committed for many year to the cultivation of legumes in Europe. Cultivating domestic protein crops such as lentils, beans or lupines contributes to a more versatile crop rotation and helps to conserve soil health. Legumes can be cultivated without nitrogen fertilizers. This reduces soil pollution and at the same time, legumes also enhance soil fertility, as they can absorb atmospheric nitrogen in their roots. In addition, legumes are an important nutritional basis for pollinators such as bees.
