Lentil farming involves cultivating lentils, a type of legume known for their high protein content and nutritional value. Farmers typically plant lentils in well-drained soil during the spring, as they thrive in cooler temperatures. The plants require minimal water and can grow in various soil types, making them a sustainable crop choice. Harvesting usually occurs in late summer when the lentil pods turn brown and dry. After harvesting, the lentils are cleaned and sorted for sale. Lentils are popular in many cuisines around the world, contributing to both food security and agricultural diversity.
