February 10; World Pulses Day- Achieve Zero Hunger World |
---|

In many cultures, pulses are considered as ¡®protein for the poor¡¯ and their high nutrient content makes them ideal for vegetarians and vegans to ensure adequate intakes of protein, minerals and vitamins. However, these tiny, multi-coloured seeds have been one of nature¡¯s nutritious foods since time began. Here is why: 1. Pulses are naturally low in fat, contain no cholesterol and rich in iron and potassium. 2. Pulses are also low in sodium. Sodium chloride - or salt - is a contributor to hypertension and can be avoided by consuming foods with lower sodium levels such as pulses. 3. They are a great source of plant-based protein. Surprisingly, 100 grams of dry lentils contain a remarkable 25 grams of protein! 4. Pulses are often quoted among the top high fibre foods. 5. Pulses are an excellent source of folate and vitamin B 6. Pulses can be stored for a long time and therefore can help to increase the diversity of diets, especially in developing countries. 7. Pulses are low glycaemic index foods. 10. Finally, pulses are naturally gluten-free. The United Nations declared 10 February World Pulses Day, keeping alive the positive momentum surrounding these healthy, nutritious and protein-rich legumes after FAO's successful International Year Of Pulses Campaign in 2016. They are our delicious ally in achieving food security, reducing malnutrition and creating a #ZeroHunger world. |
