| Chickpeas, also known as "garbanzo beans", are a member of the Pulse family; Delicious, nutritious & environmentally friendly. |
March is flying by and I'm happy to say that giving up meat has steadily increased my pulse. No, not my heart rate (Zumba has done that!), but my intake of beans, lentils, and other legumes. The UN declared 2016 the international year of the pulse, stating that not only are pulses some of the most nutritious foods available, but also some of the most affordable, a combination not easily found. And this is to say nothing of the environmental friendly production methods used for harvesting pulses.
