Editor's Notes
- Pulses provide protein, fiber (complex carbohydrates), and several vitamins and minerals. They contain no cholesterol and little to no fat. Addition of pulses to a healthy diet will help in maintaining good health.
- Pulses are a type of legume (seeds that grow within pods). There are many varieties grown all over the world. Today we will be focusing on these pulses: lentils, chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) and dry peas.
