What Are Pulses?
Pulses (aka
chickpeas
,
lentils
,
dry peas
and
beans
) are the dry, edible seeds of plants in the legume family.
Why are they considered nutritional powerhouses
Pulses are loaded with plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. In fact, most pulses contain up to 9 grams of protein per ½ cup cooked serving, and deliver high levels of potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron.
Plus, pulses are naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan, making them an ideal meal addition for many different palate.
How to use them
Pulses are extremely versatile, and can be used in countless ways to boost the nutritional value in meals. Toss a half cup of cooked pulses onto salads or pastas, taco fillings or blend them into your favorite smoothie. . . the possibilities are endless.
