Serra de' Conti grass peas are one of the oldest and most characteristic legumes in the Marche region. Grown for generations in the hills surrounding the village of Serra de' Conti, they are a precious, rustic food with a strong flavor.
🌱 This legume is distinguished by its irregular shape and intense flavor, ideal for traditional dishes such as peasant soups, thick broths, or flavorful purees.
👉 Rich in plant-based proteins, complex carbohydrates, and fiber, grass peas are an excellent alternative to chickpeas and beans, perfect for those seeking healthy and wholesome foods.
⚠️ Important note: grass peas contain a natural substance called latirin. To be safe, we recommend consuming them in moderation and soaking them thoroughly before cooking.
