Pulses Names (Dal Names)

Pulses, also known as legumes, are a category of edible seeds that belong to the family Fabaceae. They are an important source of plant-based protein and are widely consumed around the world. Some common examples of pulses include beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas.

Pulses are highly nutritious and offer numerous health benefits. They are rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut. Pulses are also low in fat and cholesterol and are a good source of complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy. Additionally, they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as folate, iron, potassium, and magnesium.

One notable characteristic of pulses is their high protein content. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them particularly important for vegetarians and vegans. Pulses contain all nine essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
