Λουβί Φρέσκο -fresh black-eyed peas, olive oil, tuna, piece of bread and of course, lemon- is one of the last true tastes of summer in Cyprus, and honestly, one of the most underrated.
A few reasons it deserves more attention than it gets:
🫘 High in plant protein and fiber, a combination that keeps you full and supports digestion
🩸 A strong source of folate and iron, both essential for energy production
📉 Low glycemic index, so it won’t spike your blood sugar the way heavier summer dishes can
🌿 Naturally low in fat, especially when finished simply with olive oil and lemon
It’s the kind of dish that proves “good for you” doesn’t have to mean complicated. As the season winds down, this is worth getting in one more time before it’s gone.
Have you had louvi this summer? 🫘
