Take our pulses
Retailers are reporting that sales of dried beans and pulses have rocketed in the past year, thanks to health conscious cooks who have recognised the benefits of large doses of dietary fibre.
Foods rich in fibre promote good digestive health and help us feel full – and less inclined to snack – for longer. It seems we’re becoming more adventurous in our choice of pulses.
Waitrose reports that aduki bean sales have quadrupled in the past year, while sales of black turtle beans and borlotti beans have also increased hugely.
Types of beans and pulses include:
black-eyed,
borlotti,
butter,
cannellini,
chickpeas, fava (dried broad beans), soya,
kidney, and pinto.
