About Inveja Netherlands - Lupin & Soy
Lupin:
A herbaceous plant of the Fabaceae family (or legumes), non-GMO and gluten-free, whose seeds, very rich in proteins, are consumed in different forms: whole, semolina, flour, etc.
Lupins, like other legumes, have the particularity of enriching the soil. It captures nitrogen from the air and returns it to the soil. It is therefore natural green manure for subsequent crops. Nature is well done! Lupin is a hardy and resistant plant that tolerates the absence of insecticide and fungicide treatments much better than soya and peas. It also has robust pods that protect its seeds. The cultivation of lupins is particularly well suited to our regions.
Soya:
A herbaceous plant of the Fabaceae (or legume) family, naturally gluten-free, both high in protein and high in fat. Depending on the classification, it can be considered a protein crop (like lupin) or an oilseed (like rapeseed) as classified by the Food and Agriculture Organisation – FAO.
Soybeans are valued by farmers in crop rotation because they enrich the soil for subsequent crops. Soybeans like sandy, humus-rich, well-drained soil with a sunny exposure, as it is a crop that requires both water and heat.
