Chickpeas and lentils should pump some nitrogen into the soil. When the gluten free fad fades the grain harvests might be really good with all that fertilizer.

Lentils and peas practically grow themselves. Beans in general pull nitrogen out of there air and put it back into the soil, while other crops are reversed, pulling the nitrogen out of the soil. Resting the soil with beans would be beneficial.

A friend of mine bought some secluded land out in an arid desert area, scrub, cacti, mesquite etc... planted up a bunch of jojoba and sells it to a variety of markets.

it’s not going to fade. i know many people who feel MUCH better when they cut cereal grains from their diet.

***When the gluten free fad fades***

My Sister-in-law remembers the early 1960s when added gluten was all the rage of the health nuts.
