Beans and Pulses (Ospria)

Fresh Beans and Pulses are a staple of the Cypriot diet.  The general term for these dishes is Ospria and perfect for the vegetarian or vegan diet.  Many years ago these were frowned upon and used as cattle fodder in some countries. It is only since people have become aware how beneficial they are to the health that they have become more and more popular.  Cypriots were always aware of their nutritional value.
