Legumes: Premium organic raw materials for the food industry

Legumes are among the most valuable sources of plant-based protein and are indispensable as organic raw materials for the food industry. At Bode Naturkost, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality organic legumes that are subject to the strictest quality controls. Our products not only meet legal requirements, but exceed them through additional quality assurance measures – for maximum product safety and customer satisfaction.

The diversity of our organic legumes

Our legumes impress with their high quality, versatility, and sustainable cultivation—ideal for end consumers and business customers alike. They are rich in plant protein and fiber and provide other important nutrients that support a nutritious diet. For private households, they offer a wide range of preparation options: from soups and stews to curries and salads to spreads and snacks. For business customers such as restaurants, food manufacturers, or retailers, they are particularly attractive thanks to their pure quality, long shelf life, and consistent taste, as they can be reliably integrated into recipes, menu plans, or store shelves.

beans

Our range of beans includes kidney beans, white beans, black beans, and mung beans in organic quality. All varieties are carefully selected and have a minimal amount of broken beans.

Traceability from cultivation to storage ensures transparency and trust—a decisive advantage.
