Add some pulse foods to your menu j
“Pease porridge hot, pease por-
ridge cold, pease porridge in the pot
.If you are familiar with this old
English children’s nursery rhyme,
you might recall that it ends with
“nine days old.”
According to some historical ref-
erences, people in Medieval times
would keep a pot of a stewlike recipe
simmering in a big kettle suspended
over an open fire. Each day, the pot‘
would be “fed” with kitchen scraps.
Of course, keeping a pot simmer—
ing for nine days does not meet mod- ~
em food safety standards. Be sure to
use leftovers in your refrigerator
within four days.
Other food writers have said that
in times of scarcity, incorporating
leftovers from the evening meal as
the breakfast was more likely than
the primitive slow cooker hanging
over a fire. 1
Some type of pulse likely was a
key ingredient in these early porridge
recipes. In fact, the word “pulse”
comes from the Latin word “pulsis,”
meaning “porridge.”
‘ According to the Food and Agri-
culture Organization (FAO), the
broad pulse food category is part of
the “legume” family. Worldwide,
pulses include dry edible beans,
chickpeas, lentils and split peas.
Food historians have indicated
that pulses have been used at least
11,000 years in cuisine throughout
the world. Lentils are referenced sev-
eral times in the Bible. The first
cookbook from about 900 AD. in-
'cludes a lentil soup recipe. Lentils
have been found in Egyptian tombs.
From an agronomic standpoint,
pulses nourish the soil with their abil— ‘
ity to “fix” nitrogen. People began
eating rice ‘with beans because the
two foods “complement” each other.
One food provides the protein-build—
ing blocks (amino acids) the other
food lacks. Complementary proteins
allowed people to’have a balanced
diet when meat was scarce or when
vegetarian diets were followed.
. We grow pulses in abundance in
the Midwestern US. and other states.
Pulses were so important in nourish-
ing the world that 2016 was deemed
“The International Year of the Pulse.”
Hummus is one of the “stars” in
the pulse World, with sales projec-
tions expected to reach nearly $1 bil-
lion by 2026. Hummus has been used
widely in traditional Middle Eastern
cuisine. Hummus usually made by
processing chickpeas (also called
garbanzo beans) with tahini and'gar—
lie, but it also can use other beans as
the basis.
Even though pulses are an ancient
crop, we are. beginning to discover
their potential as whole foods and as
ingredients in other foods.
Pulses are notably rich in'protein,
fiber and many vitamins and miner-.
£118. In fact, pulse-based protein often
is used in meat analogs such as plant-
' based burgers.
You might associate the word
“pulse” with the thump, thump,

thump of your heart beat. Eating
more pulse foods actually is good-ifor
your heart with their combination of
nutrients.
Researchers have shown that eat-
ing more pulse foods may decrease
our risk for certain types of cancer
because of the natural antioxidants
and other components. Eating pulse
foods may help with blood sugar
management among those with dia-
betes.
Adding pulse foods to your diet
may help with weight management
and might improve digestion. Eating
more protein and fiber helps us feel
full longer, so we might consume
fewer calories.
However, when you increase your
fiber, be sure to increase the amount
of fluids in your diet to avoid diges—
tive upset.
Are pulse foods on your menu?
Pulse foods can be used in a wide
range of ways, including appetizers,
salads, soups, main dishes and
desserts. . Visit

fork/choose—your—crop and click on
“chickpeas” or “dry beans” for nu-
merous recipes and more nutrition in-
formation. You will find several
savory and even dessert-style hu‘m-
mus recipes, by the way.
Pulses do not contain typical al-
lergens found in wheat, nuts, dairy,
soy and other foods. If you want to
enjoy a food with a crunchy texture,
try making roasted chickpeas to top
salads or to enjoy as a snack on the
go. See
