Abstract

It is necessary to propose educational interventions in the population due to economic, social, and environmental situation. Thus, in this research, a transdisciplinary model of educational intervention to increase lentil consumption was proposed. Population was known based on their lifestyle characteristics, health, and pro-health habits, including lentil consumption. The types of lentils marketed in Mexico zone were investigated and characterized in terms of their quality attributes: sanitary, physical and saponins, choosing the best option. food dishes were formulated to teach their preparation and sensory evaluate preferences. As part of the intervention strategy, food dishes were formulated. Training was provided in their preparation and awareness was raised about the importance of lentil consumption for sustainable development. The changes of the participants were evaluated, and they indicated that their changes were mainly attributed to economic aspects, health reasons and care for the environment.  The lentil dishes were accepted by the focus group.
