Pulses

Pulses are the dried, edible seeds of leguminous plants, including common varieties like beans, lentils, chickpeas, and dry peas. They are a highly nutritious, high-protein, high-fiber, and low-fat food source. The key difference between a pulse and a general legume is that a pulse is a mature, dried seed, while a legume refers to the entire plant, including its leaves, stems, and pods.
