Take your pulse!

The UN have designated 2016 International Year of the Pulse, in a bid to promote the nutritional value of these legumes and increase awareness of the challenges faced by pulse farmers.

Pulses are a primary source of protein and other essential nutrients and you can find out more about them on the Eating Better website, where they show you how to use pulses as an alternative to meat.
