Legumes: rich food for delicious vegan or vegetarian dishes

Pods are fruits belonging to the legume family. Sometimes only the seeds are eaten, such as with peas and beans, and sometimes the seeds in the pod are eaten as a whole. Think of green and string beans and snow peas. You also have sprouts, such as aduki beans, alfalfa and chickpeas and all kinds of soy products. Legumes are healthy, tasty and inexpensive and therefore a good idea to have in your pantry.

Chickpeas, lentils, brown and white beans and kidney beans are rich in nutrients

Legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, kidney and white beans and kidney beans are a source of protein and minerals, are rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates and vitamin B. They are also gluten-free and low in fat. Legumes go well with grains or nuts to make delicious vegetarian dishes such as Chili sin carne, veggie couscous or hummus.

The cultivation of legume species is very environmentally and climate friendly

The cultivation of the various types of legumes is very environmentally and climate-friendly. This is because leguminous crops use soil bacteria to remove nitrogen from the air, thereby enriching the soil. Legumes therefore play an important role in crop rotation. Their ecological footprint is relatively small and cultivation requires little water.
