For my great home made vegetarian chow mein (’bami’ in Dutch) I needed different vegetables. Leek, unions AND legumes among other things. Legumes are absolutely great in chow mein, because of the bite. My chow mein looks about like this.

When opening the package I did see the country of origin of the legumes. There were from the other side of the world: Guatemala! And this for about € 1,50!

I really grant the people in Guatemala to earn their money, but my question is what they will get for the vegetables they grow.
It can’t be much.

It’s a shame!
