Pulses are dry, edible seeds of leguminous plants and are highly valued for their nutritional benefits. Key types include chickpeas, lentils, dry beans, and peas.

Nutritional Value:

• High in protein (20-25% by weight).

• Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins (notably B vitamins), and minerals (such as iron, potassium, and magnesium).

• Low in fat and cholesterol-free.

Pulses are essential for human nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and global food security.
