Nutritious Seeds
Food & Beverage Business Review|December 2022 - January 2023
Pulses are integral part of Indian diets. In fact, without them our dinner tables do not have a ring of completeness. Pulses are healthy, nutritious and easy to cook. They taste good, if prepared well, and they are nutritious.
Nutritious Seeds

But what are pulses? Pulses are the dried seeds of plants in the legume family. There are about hundreds of varieties of pulses grown across the planet. Dry beans, lentils, chickpeas, faba beans, bambara beans, lupins, pigeon peas are only some of them. Pulses are grown almost all over the world; in more than 170 countries. Growing pulses is also eco-friendly as pulses take less water to grow as compared to many other crops. Pulse crops also promote soil health.

If the geographical spread of pulses is abundant, their history is no less rich. The origin of pulses could be traced to pre civilisation days, to almost 11,000 years ago, in Fertile Crescent, located in the MiddleEast! Evidence of cultivation of lentil, a type of pulses, can be traced to the days of ancient Egyptian civilisation.

Healthy Option

Pulses are good source of protein, especially for people with modest incomes. About 10 percent of dietary protein consumed in the world is accounted by pulses. The pulses are endowed with twice the protein content of most cereal grains. They should feature in a healthy balanced diet.

"Consumption of pulses and lentils has been effected by the intrusion of international cuisines, fast foods & QSRs among Indian consumers", says Ghanshyam Dass Goyal, Chairman Agropure group.

Established in 1970, Agro Pure Group is a leading organization, engaged in importing, supplying, trading of besan, entire range of pulses, different variants of wheat flour like sooji, maida, dalia and poha.

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
