Every year World Pulses Day is celebrated on 10 February to spread public awareness of the nutritional and environmental benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production.
This year, the theme of World Pulses Day is “Pulses to empower youth in achieving sustainable agri-food systems”.
The day has been celebrated since 2019 by the United Nations (UN).
Legumes or pulses are seeds cultivated out of leguminous plants for food. Beans, peas, and lentils are the most common and most consumed types of pulses.
