The word “pulse” is a general reference to the dried seed of plants from the legume family like yellow peas, green peas, chickpeas, lupin, kidney beans, fava beans, fenugreek, mung bean and lentils. Pulses are often chosen for their healthy properties and ecological benefits. Pulses offer great nutritional inputs to the human diet and are devoid of the eight common allergens. Pulses are naturally high in protein and allow simple separation processing into the main fractions for protein concentration or isolation while maintaining good sensory properties.
