Pulses are the edible seeds of plants in the legume family and always grow in pods. Beans, lentils, peas and chickpeas are a staple in diets all over the world for example Indian dal, traditional Chinese and Japanese foods using mung, adzuki and soya (edamame) beans, Mexican bean chilli and burritos, Spanish fried beans, African rice and bean dishes, British mushy peas and a myriad of European lentil and pea recipes.
