Revalenta arabica
text:
Revalenta Arabica, or Ervalenta, was a preparation sold in the 18th century as an empirical diet for patients, extraordinary restorative virtues being attributed to it. The product that was mass-marketed was, in reality, only a preparation of the common lentil, its first name being formed for disguise by the transposition of its earlier botanical name, Ervum lens. While lentils are a healthy and nutritious food, Revalenta Arabica's value was about similar to the common pea-meal.
