Legumes from Campo de Montiel
Legumes are the plants of the future.
They need almost no water to grow, so they work well in the driest regions of the world, and the process is less polluting than other vegetables. And, on top of all this, pulses are very healthy.
To begin with, legumes are nutritious because they contain carbohydrates, vegetable proteins and fiber. In addition, there are studies that suggest that legumes are healthy because frequent consumption has been associated with a lower risk of cancer, hypertension and obesity, among other pathologies.
The legume from La Mancha: The chickpea from Pedrosillano
In the whole of Spain, pedrosillano chickpeas are usually cultivated only in two regions: Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León. It is one of the smallest varieties of chickpeas, with a very fine skin. And, being smaller, they take less time to cook. The chickpeas that we have for sale in our store are just of this variety; they are pedrosillanos chickpeas.
When the legume arrives at our store, they have not had a very long journey.
Our suppliers are from the region of Campo de Montiel, and the pulses come directly from the field to our store. And when you buy them online, the chickpeas and pulses come from the field to your door.
