Pulses are the edible seeds of legumes and include peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas. The word ëípulseíí is derived from the Latin words puls or pultis, meaning thick soup.
To encourage the further consumption of pulses throughout North America, the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) organized a two-day media tour to educate food writers. SPG provides leadership for the Saskatchewan pulse industry, through research, market development and communication.
