Vegetables & pulses
Pulses are an essential part of any cook's cupboard. Peas, lentils, beans and other pulses offer a varied choice with high nutritional value. They are incredible sources of vegetable protein, suitable for a vegetarian diet. Pulses are low in fat, gluten-free, rich in dietary fibre and nutrients for a balanced diet. As far as digestion is concerned, they are also real slow carbohydrates with a low glycaemic index, which you should encourage for a balanced diet.
As a dried vegetable, we love lentils, which are easy to cook and grown in France. Other pulses require a little more patience and need to be soaked for a few hours before cooking. Serve pulses with green vegetables for balanced meals, as a starter, main course or even as a dessert, as in Asian cuisine with white or red beans.
