About Cooked pulses

Cooked pulses, including beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas, are nutrient-dense staples celebrated in cuisines worldwide, from Indian dal to Mediterranean hummus. Rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, they are excellent for supporting digestion, stabilizing blood sugar, and promoting fullness. Pulses are packed with essential nutrients like iron, folate, potassium, and magnesium, making them a valuable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. They are also naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol. While versatile and healthy, canned or pre-packaged cooked pulses may contain added sodium, so rinsing or opting for low-sodium options is recommended for heart health. Their affordability, sustainability, and ability to absorb bold flavors make pulses a cornerstone of many global dishes and an easy-to-incorporate superfood for balanced meals.
