TheRiet Ve legumes are grown in seasonal wetlands in the heart of the plains of La Mancha, favouring the conservation of these unique natural areas.

Riet Ve is the only one of its kind in Spain

Riet Vell currently markets lenteja pardina, Castilian lentil and chickpea pedrosillano as a result of an agreement with the Fundación Global Nature (FGN), an NGO that has been working for many years with the primary sector in the environment of these areas to achieve their protection and the conservation of their biodiversity. The fields of legume production are located between the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real and Cuenca, and the packaging plant is located in the town of Villacañas, in Toledo.

Organic vegetable crops in these areas constitute a fundamental element of the ecosystem in very well-preserved natural spaces that are home to a rich and varied biological diversity. In addition, they contribute to improve the quality of the water that reaches the lagoons and enrich the soil in a natural way avoiding its contamination with chemical fertilizers. Remember also that legumes are a source of vegetable protein and a key element in a healthy and sustainable diet

Organic lentil and chickpea fields are used by numerous species of birds, such as bustards, little bustards, Montagu's harriers and cranes, some of which are highly endangered. This circumstance justifies, among many other reasons, the inclusion of these areas within the Natura 2000 Network
