Food Bornholm

Bornholm pulses – from field to plate

Discover another side of Bornholm’s food production at Food Bornholm. The collaboration brings together 15 Bornholm producers who grow and develop plant-based foods based on the island’s fields and growing conditions.

The crops include different varieties of lentils, peas and other pulses grown on Bornholm. After harvesting, they are cleaned, sorted and packed at Food Bornholm’s production facility in Hasle. The producers also collaborate with researchers and food developers to test new crops and explore new uses.

From Bornholm’s fields to your kitchen

Food Bornholm also works to make Bornholm ingredients easier to use in the kitchen. Its website offers recipes and inspiration featuring lentils, peas, beans, quinoa and amaranth – from hummus and salads to soups, bread and hot dishes. In 2026, Food Bornholm also published the free Danish-language e-book Bælg – Den bornholmske proteinsucces, featuring recipes, inspiration and stories about the work with pulses on Bornholm.

Food Bornholm regularly takes part in events where you can meet the producers and find inspiration for using Bornholm ingredients. Visit Food Bornholm’s website for current activities and events.
