It’s World Pulses Day on February 10th! You might be wondering, why all the buzz about pulses? Well, let me tell you, pulses are way more than just beans and lentils – they’re like superheroes in the world of food and farming.

Picture this: Right in the heart of India, where the soil is super rich, you’ll find pulses like chickpeas and lentils grown in abundance. And guess what? India is rocking it, producing a whopping 25% of all the pulses in the world! That’s seriously impressive, isn’t it?

But why should we care about pulses? Well, let me break it down for you. Pulses are like tiny treasures packed with all the good stuff your body needs to stay healthy. They’re full of protein, vitamins, and minerals that keep us strong and feeling great.

And here’s the cool part – pulses aren’t just good for us, they’re good for the planet too! When pulses grow, they make the soil better for other plants to grow. It’s like giving the earth a big, warm hug!

So, on World Pulses Day, let’s all give a big cheer for these little powerhouses of nutrition and sustainability. Whether you’re a farmer planting seeds or someone slurping up a tasty bowl of lentil soup, you’re part of the pulses family.

Let’s promise to keep spreading the word about pulses and how incredible they are. Together, we can make sure that pulses keep nourishing our bodies and our planet for generations to come. Let us honour pulses – the tiny yet mighty heroes of our meals and our planet!
