As we continue to explore the foods our ancestors relied on during our evolutionary history, and what foods work best for us today, we come to legumes such as beans and lentils. Like other plant-based foods, pulses contain no cholesterol and little fat or sodium. Pulses also provide iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and other minerals, which play a variety of roles in maintaining good health. Pulses are versatile, delicious and an economical gluten free option. Pulse flours can be incorporated into the diet in a variety of ways.
