Protein-Packed Pulses

Pulse USA builds markets internationally and domestically. According to Vice President of Research and Membership Service Todd Schultz, demand is growing because pulses are a healthy food. “Pulses help out with obesity, they decrease heart disease, they can change diabetes,” said Schultz. “The recommended daily allowance is three cups a week, and we’re eating less than 12 pounds a year.” Schultz was part of the program at the Northern Pulse Growers Association annual meeting in Minot.
