Increasing the diversity of species we eat can be better for both the environment and our health! Swedish meat consumption has increased by 70 % since 1960 because it’s affordable, and many also value its tastiness, familiarity and convenience. To eat ‘less but better’ meat is a pragmatic way to change: eat meat occasionally, when you do, choose things like the pasture-fed beef (‘naturbeteskött’) that is currently on your plate! Grey peas were widely grown in Sweden as human food and animal feed until the late 1800s when they were replaced with green and yellow peas. There is a resurgence of interest in grey peas due to their deep ties to the Swedish culture and landscape as well as taste, texture and soil-enhancing ability.
