Pulses contain high levels of protein and essential nutrients such as fiber, folate, calcium, iron, and vitamin C. This means they're excellent for human health (particularly pregnant mothers), but pulses are also good for soil health.
The first evidence of pulses comes from 11,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a region in the Middle East which was home to some of the earliest human civilizations. Pulses are annual crops that yield between one and 12 grains or seeds. The word pulse refers to dried seed. Daal are often known as lentils, but actually refers to a split version of a number of lentils, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans etc. If pulses are split into half, it is called as daal.
