Description
Small lentils
Cultivation areas: Voio Kozani, Grevena
Cultivation: Western Macedonia and specifically the plateau of Voio has a long tradition in lentil cultivation. The experience of the producers, the excellent Greek varieties, the cultivation at an altitude of over 600 meters, the cold winters and the mild, long spring give an excellent product. In the growing area, the soil is rich in potassium, which makes lentils boiled, tasty and fragrant.
Characteristics: Voion small lentils are a combination of the Greek varieties "Samos" and "Dimitra", whose production is perfectly adapted to the Greek and local soil-climatic conditions. They are rich in proteins and minerals, have a small size, light green to cream color on the outside and yellow on the inside and a unique taste. The boiling time required is short and during it pleasant aromas emerge.
