EAT SAFE, EAT SUSTAINABLE: CHOOSE LEGUMES FROM EUROPE

Driven by concerns about health, climate change, natural resources and animal welfare, an increasing number of consumers eat more plant-based protein sources. The production of legumes is far more environmentally sustainable than the production of animal proteins, as it requires fewer natural resources, in terms of water consumption, fertilisers and chemicals.

Let's be safe and let's eat sustainably by enjoying this delicious recipe based on EU legumes.
