The world consumes a lot of pulses—in fact, pulses like lentils, peas, chickpeas and
beans are where
much of the world gets the daily protein they need. That said, if pulses aren’t part of your daily diet,
your first question is likely “what do I do with them”? The easiest answer is to just enjoy them!
Pulses are high in fibre and protein, have a low glycemic index and are very
nutritious. They’re
excellent for those who are managing diabetes, heart disease and maintaining a healthy diet, and are a
vital staple food in vegetarian cultures. On their own, in soups, stews, main dishes or event desserts,
pulses are good to eat—and good for you!
