Description
The Purple-Flowered Chickpea of Musei is a historic legume variety cultivated in the Cixerri valley, around the town of Musei. Like the white-flowered version, it has been preserved over time thanks to the care of local farmers, who maintained its cultivation despite climatic challenges and difficult seasons. Characterized by its purple flowers, it represents a significant example of the area’s agricultural biodiversity and rural traditions.
