WHAT ARE PULSES?
Pulses are small grains that are inside pods.
As an example of pulses we have beans, lentils, peas, broad beans, chickpea, among
others. The consumption of these help treat obesity and prevent and control
chronic diseases such as diabetes, hard heart diseases and cancer, as
well. As we know, human intervention has
caused soil degradation. These are important to human sustainability.
To fertilize the land, farmers may use broad beans. Farmers sow
the plant and then take good care of the soil which is fertilized in order to
grow other pulses.
