USA pulses Mission

The Main Ingredient

There’s a recipe for healthier communities, stronger farmers, and a better planet. Pulses are the main ingredient. Since 1965, we’ve been on a mission to make pulses a major crop in our food system. Doubling their production and consumption across the US can lay the groundwork for nutrient-dense, earth-friendly food to reach more people and make it accessible to all. More people eating more pulses means slashing carbon and water use, rebuilding soil, advancing human health, and even helping to end world hunger. That’s a future we’re determined to grow.

About USA Pulses

What are Pulses?

Pulses are the unsung heroes of the culinary world. Think dry peas, lentils, chickpeas, and dry beans.

Packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients, pulses aren’t just good for you, they’re great for our planet, too. Among their many environmental benefits, these powerhouse crops improve soil health, enhance water efficiency, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, making them an earth-friendly food choice.
