Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte. The Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte, grown in the province of Enna, are an ancient cultivar typical of this area. These lentils are a legume rich in iron and have an intense flavor, and have a history that makes them particularly rare and valuable, as the variety requires manual labor and can only be cultivated in small areas. Information: Format: 250 g. The plant of our Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte has a very short stem, allowing for only 100% manual cultivation. They are among the most characteristic due to their coloration that distinctly sets them apart from all others: small, with a black coat, but inside red-brown. Grown in loose soils, they are very rich in iron and protein, and improve soil fertility. Place of Production: Hills of Enna. The Enna hills are part of that Sicilian inland area where cereals and legumes alternate with olive groves and orchards. In this area, cold and humid in winter, hot and dry in summer, during the period between winter and spring, farmers grow traditional legumes passed down from generation to generation, such as the Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte. The genetic variability of these lentils is evidenced by the frequent presence of non-black seeds, which is not a defect but a richness, allowing them to survive and adapt to the climatic changes that are making these areas increasingly arid. Characteristics: Origin: ITALY – LEONFORTE (EN) Weight and Type of Packaging: 250g, Bag. Ingredients: Dried black lentils. Appearance: whole seeds, small size and black color. Sensory characteristics: typical odor, flavor, and color of the product. Consumption Method: after cooking. Cooking time: 40 minutes. Primary packaging: Bag, quality: Food grade polypropylene.
