Pulses: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Pulses are the edible seeds of legume plants, including beans, lentils and peas. They are a versatile and nutritious food group, often found canned or dried in supermarkets. When choosing canned pulses, check the ingredient list for added salt. Rinsing canned pulses under cold water can help reduce the salt content. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends including pulses as part of a healthy, balanced diet. They are a good source of fibre and protein. Look for pulses with a short ingredient list, ideally just the pulse, water, and perhaps a little salt. While sugar is not typically a major component of plain pulses, it's always worth checking the nutrition label, especially for pre-seasoned or flavoured varieties. The fibre content is a key nutritional benefit of pulses, contributing to a healthy digestive system. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
