ll of these products are from the region of Abruzzo..I know exactly where they are produced, and I have met the producers of these products….they are grown in locations that are rich with minerals hence when you consume these products you will also benefit from these minerals and vitamins.
Abruzzo has a long history in using beans in their dishes from first courses to desserts. From minesre di ceci and castagne (chick pea and chestnut soup) to a sweet ravioli made with mashed chick peas and honey.
