At Zaituna on Saturday, as part of the Saxony Organic Experience Days, everything revolved around special flavors and high-quality regional foods. Even before the start of the event, guests flocked into the small kitchen with its rustic dining room and were eager to find out more. The idea of conjuring up oriental dishes from Saxon organic lentils in particular sparked great enthusiasm. The OLGA project supported the event with information and expert knowledge on regional cultivation and the use of pulses in everyday nutrition. This, as well as the 25 kg bag of Saxon lentils on display from farmer Eckhardt Voigt from Leisnig and the other delicious oriental samples from Ali Habiballah, provided plenty to talk about.

In a good mood, packed with knowledge and recipes, most of them asked: “Where can I buy the products so that I can cook Ali's recipes straight away?”. How nice it was to be able to answer them: “You can find local organic markets all over Dresden, where you can not only buy the lentils and other pulses, but also find Ali's fresh hummus and his organic falafel ready to eat!”. Everyone was delighted and knew that the next stop on my shopping tour would be a regional organic market in Dresden.

A small but nice addition: it was worth being there. Even Mr. Voigt from Leisnig was able to report that some people from the organic experience day at Zaituna in Dresden visited him on his farm on our recommendation and bought the regional Saxon organic lentils of wonderful quality from him.
