Let's Talk About Pulses and Water Conservation 🌱💧 Pulses, including lentils, beans, chickpeas, and peas, are champions of #sustainability due to their unique agricultural traits. Unlike many other crops, pulses have shallow root systems, which means they primarily draw #water from the upper layers of the soil. This reduces their reliance on deep water sources, making them an ideal choice for areas prone to water scarcity. ☀ Additionally, pulses are naturally drought-resistant. Their resilience in arid conditions helps conserve valuable water resources and supports sustainable farming practices. By choosing #pulses, we can make a positive impact on our environment while enjoying a healthy and versatile food source! 🌍 #USAPulses #sustainability

Check out this new interview of CEO Tim McGreevy by pulse influencer, A Legume a Day - Chelsea Didinger! This episode of “Behind the Scenes the World of Beans” features Tim McGreevy, the CEO of USA Pulses and devoted #farmer 🌱. Among other crops, he grows pulses like chickpeas and lentils. He has been working in #pulses for several decades, giving him a rich understanding of how these incredible crops can benefit the cropping system on his own farm, and the farms of the many growers his organization works with on a daily basis. (PS What are pulses? They are the dry, edible seeds of non-oilseed legumes, like beans, chickpeas, dry peas, and lentils.) In addition to knowing firsthand all the benefits that pulses have on the farm, he is well versed in how pulses like beans, chickpeas, peas, and lentils can dramatically improve the health of people and the planet. Tim is an excellent advocate, traveling the 🌎 in the name of pulses. He also eats pulses every day and has some great recipe ideas - including tips on how he enjoys pulses for breakfast!

🌱 New Research Confirms the Health Benefits of Beans and Chickpeas! 🌱 A recent study published in Maturitas highlights the significant impact of incorporating beans (including kidney, black, and pinto beans) and chickpeas into our diets. The findings are groundbreaking for both younger and older adults, showing that just one to two servings a day can dramatically enhance diet quality and nutrient intake! 🔍 Key Takeaways: - Increased intake of essential nutrients like dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, folate, and choline. - Improved overall diet quality by 15-16% with one additional serving, and 19-20% with two servings, according to The Healthy Eating Index – 2015 scores. - Potential to help close nutrient gaps and improve public health by reducing risks of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. 📊 Why This Matters: Most adults in the U.S. fall short of the recommended intake for #pulses. This study emphasizes that adding beans and chickpeas to your daily diet can help bridge this gap. Increased consumption of beans and chickpeas leads to a substantial rise in daily dietary #fiber intake. This is crucial because fewer than 1 in 10 US adults meet the recommended fiber intake, which is vital for maintaining digestive health and preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers. 🍽️ Actionable Advice: Integrate more beans and chickpeas into your meals to boost your nutrient intake and improve your overall health. Pulses are versatile, delicious, and now, scientifically proven to enhance diet quality. If you need inspiration for recipes, visit pulses.org for a variety of delicious and nutritious ideas!
