Benefits of Pulses and How to Incorporate Them Into Your Diet
What are Pulses?
Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas all fall under the umbrella term of pulses (1). These are all seeds of plants found in the legume family.
On the other hand, legumes refer to a plant that grows in a pod. Some examples of legumes include soybeans and peanuts.
When comparing pulses to legumes, most pulses are low in fat and high in fiber and protein, whereas legumes tend to be higher in fat (1). Therefore, pulses are a great source of plant-based protein.
