Have you ever tasted Greek beans soup? Baked white kidney beans in the oven? Stuffed vine leaves with Greek rice ("dolmadakia")? Maybe Greek rice pudding ("rizógalo")? Are you looking for a traditional Greek recipe or just for natural food to incorporate into a healthy, low cholesterol Mediterranean diet? Whatever the case, please, read on...

Both legumes (pulses) and rice constitute two important elements of the food guide pyramid. They are natural products of high nutrition value. This means that legumes (pulses) and rice -unlike other foods, like meat and dairy products- are recommended for a healthy diet and may be consumed much more frequently. Being natural foods, they provide to the human body all the required nutrition ingredients, without burdening it with fat and cholesterol. Meanwhile they are also especially tasty. Thus, pulses and rice present increasing demand, particularly now that people have become more conscious about their nutrition and want to have a low fat, low cholesterol diet.

Legumes (Pulses)

The category of legumes is dominated by beans. Antonio foods selects high quality bean varieties and offers them after processing to food distributors, brokers, importers and wholesalers (B2B, Business to Business). During processing beans are treated for the removal of any impurities. A very high degree of cleanliness (greater than 99.9%) is consequently achieved. From the beans group a specific variety stands out, namely the famous huge Greek White Kidney Beans (Elephant and Giant sizes) of Florina (Northern Greece).

In the beans group offered by Antonio foods belong the following products:

White large beans
White medium beans
Cranberry beans
Blackeye beans

Lentils are another kind of pulses, tasty as well as nutritious, and this also applies to chick peas. Both can be cooked in a variety of ways, but with the addition of the right ingredients and spices, they can make great soup.

Green lentils, small
Green lentils, big

Chick peas, large

Rice

Rice -along with bread and pasta- finds itself at the basis of the food guide pyramid, meaning that it is recommended to be consumed quite frequently.

All rice varieties offered by Antonio foods are of Greek origin, cultivated in the fertile plains of Macedonia. The yellow parboiled rice is of special quality and taste, as it always remains granular.

Parboiled, long grain (yellow)
