February 10 is World Pulses Day, a day to shine a light on the importance of pulses like beans, lentils, and peas. These foods are packed with nutrients and are essential for food security. The United Nations encourages this day to highlight how pulses can boost our diets, support agriculture, and help create a more sustainable food system. It’s about getting people to eat more pulses and recognize how valuable they are for both health and the global food economy.
