Pulses

Pulses are the edible seeds of plants in the legume family. They grow in pods and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

The term ‘pulses’ is limited to crops harvested solely as dry grains, which differentiates them from other vegetable crops that are harvested while still green.

Pulses are healthy, nutritious and easy to cook with. Our product portfolio includes three popular pulses: chickpeas, mung beans and yellow peas.

The Food and Agriculture Organization recognizes 11 different types of pulses

Committed to Sustainability

In addition to our strong merchandizing capabilities, growing product portfolio and reputation for reliability and integrity, our leading position in grains and oilseeds is also connected with our commitment to responsible sourcing, traceable supply chains and sustainable business practices globally.

Supporting the farming of pulses also promotes sustainable agriculture, as pulse crops help decrease greenhouse gases, increase soil health and use less water than other crops.

Chickpeas

The chickpea is an important element of Indian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. It is a key ingredient in hummus and and can be ground into flour to make falafel. It is also used in salads, soups, stews, curry and other meal products. We originate chickpeas in India and distribute this pulse domestically.

Mung Beans

The mung bean is packed with vitamins and nutrients, and is a versatile element of a healthy diet. It can be used as an ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes. We originate mung beans in Southeast Asia and India, and distribute this pulse to customers in the US.

Yellow Peas

Yellow peas are nutritionally valuable, as a rich source of vitamins A, B and C, fiber, protein and potassium. They tend to fall apart when thoroughly cooked, and are therefore a useful thickening element for stews, soups and curries. We source yellow peas from Ukraine for distribution in India.
