#MedMonth Legumes Quiz
Test your knowledge – What do you really know about legumes?
Legumes have been part of the human diet for over 10,000 years and they are among the most consumed foods around the world today. Legumes provide us with protein and fibre, and are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals including iron, zinc and magnesium, among others! We hope that you consume legumes regularly, but how deep is your knowledge about them? Test if you have “bean” paying attention in class with this fun quiz as part of our Mediterranean theme for the month of May – #MedMonth.
