Pulse Benefits

Health and Nutrition:

An excellent source of plant-based protein, fibre, and folate, pulses are also low in fat, low in sodium, cholesterol free, and iron-rich

​

Studies have shown they help with blood-sugar management, reduce risk of chronic diseases like heart-disease, and offer satiety and weight management benefits

​

Sustainability:

Pulses have a lower carbon footprint compared to animal-based protein sources. They require less water and have a nitrogen-fixing property, meaning they naturally enrich the soil by capturing nitrogen from the atmosphere, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.  Pulses also play a vital role in sustainable agriculture by improving soil fertility, reducing erosion, and enhancing biodiversity

​

Affordability:

Affordable and widely available in many parts of the world, pulses are an important staple food for populations with limited access to animal protein. Their cultivation and consumption contribute to food security, particularly in regions where meat is prohibitively costly

​

Variety:

From main-courses to soups, salads, dips, snacks, and additives, the sheer variety of ways to prepare and enjoy pulses make them an ideal addition to any meal; furthermore, their nutrient rich, high protein nature make them the go-to animal-protein replacement for vegan and vegetarian diets
