Pulses, High Protein Content

There are incredible nutritional benefits of pulses:

Pulses reduce cholesterol and blood pressure to prevent diabetes, heart disease, and cancers. They contain up to 9 grams of plant-based protein per serving, which is double the protein per serving of quinoa.

They’re also packed with fibre and other key nutrients, such as iron, magnesium, folate, and potassium. Moreover, being rich in protein and fibre and low in fat means pulses are an excellent meal component for helping with satiety.

Additionally, the high levels of iron and zinc present in pulses make them primordial in combating anaemia in women and children, which currently affects 42% of children below the age of 5 and 40% of pregnant women worldwide.
