June Legumes Month

Legumes are culture, history and tradition, they are economy, innovation and resistance, they are the representation of a territory and its typical cuisine. Cilento is rich in this precious food that is a fundamental part of the Mediterranean Diet and the healthy lifestyle that characterizes it. Considered dishes of the “poor cuisine” are instead precious foods and allies for health because they are rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins.

June is the month of legumes and with the Cooperativa Nuovo Cilento we discover together the main characteristics and uniqueness of local legumes such as Cicerale chickpeas, Controne beans, cicerchie, maracuoccio and many other excellences with which we prepare some of the tastiest and most representative dishes of Cilento cuisine.
