“…These values were shown to be higher than those reported previously (average of 18.5 %) for desi type chickpeas cultivated in the same environment (Rossi et al, 1983;Casini, 1983). The protein values were similarly higher than those reported in recent studies conducted outside Italy (Ghribi et al, 2015;Serrano et al, 2017;Rybiński et al, 2019). Contra-ment.…”

In Italy, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivation of the kabuli type is predominant, with local landraces of the desi type, including the Apulian black chickpea, occurring almost exclusively in the south. However, increasing interest in the desi type on the part of farmers and consumers is based on the nutritional properties constituting a niche area in the market health sector. Information pertaining to both field evaluation of desi chickpea in Central Italy and the chemical composition is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this preliminary research was to evaluate the agronomic performance to the agroclimatic environment of Central Italy of thirteen lines of desi chickpea accessions of different origins, as well as the ‘Apulian Black Chickpea’ (ABC). Accessions were sown on March 21 in 2019, without the use of irrigation. The principle qualitative characteristics, namely protein content and raw fiber were determined. Yield was excellent for 57 % of the accessions, some of which exceeded 3.0 t ha-1 with the maximum value of 4.1 t ha-1 recorded for ‘PI598080’ (brown seeds of Indian origin). ‘W617611’ (black seeds of Turkish origin) was the earliest flowering line at 74 days after sowing, permitting this accession to escape the onset of drought and high temperatures. Additional early flowering lines included ‘PI533676’ (black seeds of Ukrainian origin) and ‘PI567850’ (black seeds of Pakistani origin), respectively. Plant structure relating to the average height of the plants (47.0 cm), the height of the first pod (30.8 cm) and the number of branches per plant (2.6) rendered most accessions suitable to combine harvesting, an indispensable prerequisite in the maintenance of an economically sustainable crop. The average protein content was 22.7 % with maximum values exceeding 24 % (‘PI572520’ - black seeds of Syrian origin -, ‘W617614’ - black seeds of Turkish origin - and ‘PI572850’). The fiber content was very heterogeneous ranging from 4.6 % to 12.0 %.The present study provides the basis towards the future introduction of desi chickpea in Central Italy, with the potential for sustainable yield and quality.

“…Generally, legumes are a source of valuable nutrition, providing proteins ranging from 20 to 45% with some essential amino acids, dietary fiber ranging from 5 to 37%, complex carbohydrates of approximately 60%, vitamins, and minerals [8,27]. They have low cholesterol and are usually very low in fat with ±5% energy from fat, with the exception of peanuts (±45%), chickpeas (±15%), and soybeans (±47%) [46]. In addition to the nutritional components of legumes, they have been attributed to pharmacological roles due to the presence of important bioactive compounds.…”

In an era dominated by conventional agricultural practices, underutilized legumes termed “Forgotten Gems” represent a reservoir of untapped benefits with the unique opportunity to diversify agricultural landscapes and enhance global food systems. Underutilized crops are resistant to abiotic environmental conditions such as drought and adapt better to harsh soil and climatic conditions. Underutilized legumes are high in protein and secondary metabolites, highlighting their role in providing critical nutrients and correcting nutritional inadequacies. Their ability to increase dietary variety and food security emerges as a critical component of their importance. Compared to mainstream crops, underutilized legumes have been shown to reduce the environmental impact of climate change. Their capacity for nitrogen fixation and positive impact on soil health make them sustainable contributors to biodiversity conservation and environmental balance. This paper identifies challenges and proposes strategic solutions, showcasing the transformative impact of underutilized legumes on agriculture, nutrition, and sustainability. These “Forgotten Gems” should be recognized, integrated into mainstream agricultural practices, and celebrated for their potential to revolutionize global food production while promoting environmental sustainability.

“…7-8°C), it is important to establish a form of seeding bed that will provide the largest possible contact surface of the seed with the soil to allow for gas exchange, heat transfer, etc. (Rybiński et al, 2008). These patterns were studied by Brunotte (1985), Páltik (2005), Turan (2011), who stated that the optimal seed water transfer occurs when the size of the soil particle in the seed area falls within a range of 1/5 to 1/10 of the seed diameter.…”
