HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Lentils have been cultivated since ancient times (around 2,000 BC) in ancient Egypt, while the Jews, Greeks and Romans also cultivated and consumed it. In Greece, lentil cultivation has been found since prehistoric times. This is also evidenced by the archaeological samples from the pre-ceramic period. The numbers are staggering: lentils have been part of the human diet for 13,000 years!
Such is their history that could not but be included in our folklore tradition. For the Jews, for example, lentils are the traditional food of those who mourn. They combine it with boiled eggs, to allegorically honor the cycle of life as their round shape symbolizes the cycle of every human being from birth to death. For Italians and Hungarians on the other hand, lentils are traditionally eaten every New Year. Thus, they close the "circle" of the past year that passes and welcome the new with wishes for prosperity and complete happiness.
