Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte

Information

The very short stem of our Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte allows only 100% manual cultivation.

The Sicilian Black Lentils of Leonforte are among the most characteristic , due to the color that clearly distinguishes them from all the others.

Sicilian Black Lentils from Leonforte, small, black integument, but red-brownish inside. Grown in loose soil, very rich in iron and proteins, and improve soil fertility !

Production location: the Ennesi Hills

The Enna hills are part of that Sicilian hinterland where cereals and legumes alternate with olive groves and orchards. In this area, cold and humid in winter, hot and arid in summer, in the period between winter and spring, farmers have always cultivated traditional legumes handed down from generation to generation, such as the Sicilian Black Lentils of Leonforte.

The genetic variability of the Sicilian Black Lentils of Leonforte (evidenced by the frequent presence of non-black seeds) is not a defect, but on the contrary an asset, which allows them to survive and adapt to climate change which is making these areas increasingly arid.
