Pulses:
Peas, beans and lentils are known as pulses. They are the
seeds of plants belonging to the family Leguminosae, which
gets its name from the characteristic pod or legume that protects
the seeds while they are forming and ripening. With approximately
13,000 species, the family Leguminosae is the second largest
in the plant kingdom and it is very important economically.
Different kinds of legumes provide us with food, medicines,
oils, chemicals, timber, dyes and ornamental garden plants.
Legume products include carob, senna, gum arabic, balsam,
indigo and licorice. Pulses are valuable because they contain
a higher percentage of protein than most other plant foods.
We source Red Rentils & Moong
Dal mostly from UP & Bihar.
