An American Pulse Association would provide support in three areas of importance to the pulse industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the first needs that we have is to address a significant lack of health and nutrition research on these crops. Some of the money under this initiative would go to study the real nutritional benefits of consuming these crops in relation to obesity and associated diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers,\u201d says McGreevy. <\/p>\n
The second area of research would look at how pulse flours and fractions function as food ingredients with the hopes of adding value to pulses<\/strong> and introducing them into a wider array of food items. The third area looks to enhance pulse sustainability<\/strong>, such as the nitrogen-fixing ability of pulses, as well as yields.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have fallen well behind the major crops in terms of yield gains over the past 50 years,\u201d notes McGreevy. \u201cAs the world population continues to expand, these crops are a key source of protein in the developing world and they are also a very inexpensive form of dietary fiber in the developed world that has problems with weight management. So we have to increase the yields of these low cost sources of protein and dietary fiber not only in this country but around the world, and the Pulse Health Initiative will help address that.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
