Pulses

Pulses are a type of legume that includes dried beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. They are a nutritious and affordable source of plant-based protein and fiber. Pulses are low in fat and are a good source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, potassium, and folate. They also have a low glycemic index, which means they can help regulate blood sugar levels. Pulses are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, salads, and curries. They can be cooked on their own or combined with other ingredients like vegetables and grains. Some popular dishes made with pulses include hummus, falafel, dhal, and chili.
