It could be one of the first crops domesticated in Europe around 6000 BC (source Feedipedia).

This soup is an essential part of Campania's peasant gastronomy, and is one of the specialties of Anacapri on the island of Capri.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to grow, this species tolerates poor, dry stony soils, as well as heavy clay. It also tolerates temperature variations, and we can sow early in the spring, and harvest as early as summer rather than autumn.

It's easy to become addicted to this flavor, but we advise you to consume this legume in moderation, as it contains a toxic amino acid that can cause nerve damage if consumed excessively over long periods*. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, seeds are perfectly safe and highly nutritious in small quantities, but should not represent more than 30 % of the feed ration.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In fact, long soaking, cooking, rinsing with water and moderate consumption make this a delicious legume to discover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to all this, the blue-tinted white papilionaceous blossom makes this food crop an ornamental asset, making its presence very pleasing in the garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Spanish lentil is enjoying a revival thanks to the efforts of the Slow Food association. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.labonausanza.it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.labonausanza.it\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*In the past, it caused a disease called lathyrism in people who ate large quantities of this legume every day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>bag = approx. 25 seeds<\/p>\n<p>Handcrafted seeds produced here at LA SOCI\u00c9T\u00c9 DES PLANTES, Kamouraska, Qc<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":64706,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[813,178,230,335],"product_tag":[427,228,241,910],"class_list":["post-64709","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-legumes","product_cat-legumes-fruits","product_cat-pois-autres-legumineuses","product_cat-semences-lsdp","product_tag-dry-farming","product_tag-fabacees","product_tag-graines-comestibles","product_tag-nouveau-en-2025","sales-flash-overlay","woocommerce-text-align-center","woocommerce-image-align-center","do-quantity-buttons","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"booking_location":null,"booking_location_type":null,"booking_duration":null,"booking_duration_unit":null,"booking_buffer":null,"booking_cost":null,"booking_resources":null,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>cicerchia - pois carr\u00e9 - LA SOCI\u00c9T\u00c9 DES PLANTES<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Facile de culture, le pois carr\u00e9 tol\u00e8re les sols pauvres et secs, tout comme l\u2019argile lourde.
