We’re celebrating all things #pulses as part of #WorldPulsesDay & #FibreFebruary!
Did you know that alongside their other health & nutrition benefits, pulses are naturally low in fat and contain no cholesterol, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease?

Today is #WorldPulsesDay!
Did you know that pulses can fix atmospheric nitrogen and improve the turnover of #phosphorus in the soil?
They also have a low water footprint and can better tolerate drought compared with other food crops.

Happy #FibreFebruary!
We're pleased to be part of the #LoveWholegrainsAndPulses Partnership; a group committed to communicating the benefits of growing & eating more wholegrains and pulses in the UK.
