Water lentils We saw many opportunities in the marketing of water lentils, but when we delved further into it, it turned out that there was no good system yet for growing and harvesting water lentils efficiently and at acceptable costs. Developing that was our first assignment, because there is little point in selling something that cannot be grown well or is too expensive, or only in the summer, or with variable quality. Part of 2020 was spent on this. The starting point was to find out how water lentils grow best, what the right time is to harvest them and how to actually harvest them at the right time. A lot was already known about fertilization, and with regard to growth, we sought cooperation with someone who has several years of experience with water lentil cultivation. There is no point in reinventing the wheel yourself. Special aspects of the cultivation machine have been patented. Processing There are two markets: For the use of water lentils as protein-rich animal feed. The cultivation machine has been developed for this purpose, with which farmers can grow and harvest water lentils with a protein content of up to 40% on their own farm 365 days a year.For example, as an alternative to soy. For the use of water lentils for human nutrition. The same machine can also be used for water lentils for human food.For further processing, we have focused on drying, because this offers the best commercial opportunities, as has been shown in America, where water lentils have been permitted as a food for some time.Water lentils themselves can also be eaten fresh, which has traditionally been done in parts of Thailand, for example.
