Who We Are
Our Roots
USA Pulses is a nonprofit organization that has been pushing for pulses in our food system since 1965.
Our work supports over 5,000 growers, processors, and exporters across the US, working from field to fork to strengthen the industry and highlight the value of pulses worldwide.
What We Do
our field
USA Pulses focuses on what moves the industry forward.
That means investing in research to develop new varieties, explore health benefits, and find new, affordable ways to incorporate pulses into common daily meals.
As advocates, we help keep pulses on the table, literally and legislatively. Our work with policymakers secures funding, opens markets, and keeps pulses a competitive, sustainable choice for farmers worldwide.
Why We Do It
Our Cause
Pulses are an incredible tool in our mission to leave the world a better place than we found it.
By doubling both the consumption and production of US-grown pulse crops, we can promote healthier farming, healthier people, and a healthier planet. Where’s the downside in that?
The benefits of pulses go far beyond the field, and our job is to make sure more people know it.
What We’ve Done
Our yield
Our work has put USA pulses on the map. Dry peas, lentils, chickpeas and dry beans from the United States are now recognized worldwide for their taste, nutrition, and sustainability, earning them the “Standard of Quality” seal.
Thanks to our growers, processors, and support team, USA pulses have become a key part of the global food industry, driving increased global demand, and trends like the hummus boom.
