About Pulse

Pulse refers to the edible seeds of legumes, including lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and peas. Renowned for their high protein content, pulses are a staple in global cuisines such as Indian, Mediterranean, and Latin American. These nutrient-dense foods are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate, making them excellent for heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. They’re naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, supporting healthy weight management and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Pulses are versatile, used in soups, salads, curries, and spreads like hummus. However, moderation is advised for individuals prone to bloating, as they contain oligosaccharides that may be hard to digest. Soaking and cooking them thoroughly can mitigate this effect. Pulses stand out as a cost-effective, sustainable protein source, ideal for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone aiming to enhance their diet with wholesome, plant-based nutrition.
