10 REASONS WE SHOULD EAT MORE PULSES

Jan 01, 2018 | BRINDISA SPANISH FOODS

Pulses are the dry edible seeds of the legume family such as lentils, beans and chickpeas and are now considered as superfoods.

Here are 10 simple reasons why we should all eat more pulses:

1. Good low-fat source of protein (especially good for vegans)

2. Rich in minerals such as iron and zinc, amino acids and vitamin B

3. High in fibre

4. Naturally sodium and gluten free

5. Reduce the risk of heart disease as they lower cholesterol and blood pressure

6. Help prevent type 2 diabetes

7. Improve digestive health and aid weight loss

8. They also contribute to having healthy bones and teeth

9. They help create healthier soil to aid sustainable food production

10. They taste delicious!
