During this hole period the black lentil seriously risked to disappear and it has been produced in quantities of 100 to 400 kg each year.
In 2002 we were intentioned to start its cultivation and we only found 800g of seeds to plant!
Today our company is trying to recover this lentil and make it known also out of the regional boundaries, even if it will be very hard.
In fact the its cultivation is extremely laborious and all the agricultural techniques are hand made due to the plant physiology: the plant has a very short stem, almost at contact with the ground.
