WHAT DOES ERVIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ervil

Vicia ervilia

Vicia ervilia, the bitter vetch, is an ancient grain legume crop of the Mediterranean region. Besides the English name, other common names include: gavdaneh, kersannah, yero, rovi, and burçak. The nutritional value of the grain for ruminant production has guaranteed the continued cultivation of V. ervilia in Morocco, Spain and Turkey. The crop is easy to cultivate and harvest and can be grown on very shallow, alkaline soils. Bitter vetch grain when split resembles red lentils. For human consumption the bitterness of the seeds needs to be removed through leaching by several changes of boiling water. Owing to this bitterness, it is unlikely that someone would accidentally confuse bitter vetch with red lentils. According to Zohary and Hopf, only humans of the poorest economic classes consume this crop, or in times of famine; however, Pliny the Elder states that bitter vetch has medicinal value like vetch, citing the letters of Augustus where the emperor wrote that he regained his health from a diet of bitter vetch. The grain is an excellent sheep and cattle feed concentrate.
