About Pulses

Pulses, a category of legumes, include lentils, chickpeas, beans, and peas. They’ve been dietary staples across cultures for centuries, featuring prominently in Mediterranean, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines. Pulses are celebrated for their impressive nutritional profile: they’re rich in plant-based protein, making them a great meat alternative, and loaded with fiber to support digestive health and promote satiety. They also provide essential nutrients like iron, potassium, and folate while being naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol. Due to their low glycemic index, pulses are ideal for managing blood sugar levels. However, some individuals may experience bloating or gas due to their high fiber content; soaking and cooking them thoroughly can help alleviate this. Pulses are sustainable, affordable, and versatile, making them a powerhouse ingredient for soups, salads, stews, and more.
