Pulses are a type of legume, which are seeds that grow in their pods. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recognizes 11 types of pulses, including dry beans, chickpeas, lentils and dry peas.

Pulses are available canned, packed in water, in plastic bags, dried or in bulk. Canned chickpeas and beans are precooked and ready-to-use, while lentils and dried peas are usually purchased dry. Be sure to rinse canned pulses before use to reduce the sodium content by up to 40%.
