Pulses, also known as legumes, are a vital part of human nutrition due to their rich content of proteins, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals. They include a variety of edible seeds such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, and pigeon peas. Pulses are primarily valued for their high protein content, which makes them a crucial source of nutrition, especially in vegetarian diets. Unlike animal proteins, the protein in pulses is plant-based and can be combined with cereals to provide a complete amino acid profile, essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Pulses are also a good source of complex carbohydrates, which provide a slow release of energy, contributing to sustained satiety and stable blood glucose levels. In addition, pulses contain significant amounts of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, which supports digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements, reducing constipation, and lowering the risk of gastrointestinal disorders. The soluble fiber in pulses also helps in reducing blood cholesterol levels, thereby contributing to cardiovascular health. Apart from macronutrients, pulses are rich in micronutrients such as iron, folate, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Iron from pulses, although non-heme, is essential in preventing anemia and supporting oxygen transport in the body. Folate plays a critical role in DNA synthesis and repair, making it particularly important during periods of rapid growth such as pregnancy and childhood. Magnesium and potassium contribute to maintaining proper nerve function, muscle contraction, and electrolyte balance, while zinc supports immune function and wound healing. Pulses also contain bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and phytochemicals, which have antioxidant properties and may help in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and the risk of chronic diseases. The functional properties of pulses in food systems are diverse and make them valuable in culinary and industrial applications. They exhibit water absorption and swelling properties due to their carbohydrate
