Protein Group
Legumes
About This Group
Legumes bring plant-based protein to the plate — chickpeas, lentils, and beans with an earthy character that pairs well beyond the expected reds.
Legumes are dried and cooked seeds — chickpeas, lentils, and beans anchor vegetarian protein worldwide. Spice, acid, and smoke drive wine pairing more than tannin.
