The farmers used to keep various legumes (as well as wheat), in jute bags, when the inventories became modest, they put them all into one lot, which of course were mixed (hence the name "mesciua" which means “blending”). In this soup normally coexist amiably: chickpeas, corn, different kinds of beans, green and red lentils, dried peas, beans, wheat and barley. The preparation is identical to that of the "Zemin de ceiji" but without lard.
