Li Yu had another very important reason for promoting tofu.
He was now implementing four-field crop rotation on the territory of the Double Rest Sect, increasing the land utilization rate from the original 50% to 100%. This definitely required the mass planting of leguminous plants to supplement nitrogen fertilizers.
The leguminous plants Li Yu had collected included alfalfa, peas, and black beans.
As for alfalfa, there was no need to mention it. Recognized as a green manure, it had the best nitrogen fixation ability, but alfalfa was generally used as fodder for livestock.
Humans could eat it too, but unless they were extremely hungry, people wouldn't normally choose to consume alfalfa.
Peas, on the other hand, were more commonly eaten. On the Bratis Continent, when people talked about beans, they were generally referring to peas, which could be used in meat stew as a side dish or even as a main dish.
