India, Feb. 10 -- PULSES! Nature's little soldiers, they are BFFs of the planet and the tiny bacteria in our gut, and no one recognizes the importance of pulses more than India, which is the world's largest producer (25-26% of global production), consumer, and importer of pulses. Between 2014 and 2023, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) recognized 343 high-yielding varieties and hybrids of pulses for commercial cultivation. An impressive feat that echoes - nobody does plant-based diets better than India!

World Pulses Day, celebrated on 10th February, serves as a gentle reminder of the indispensable impact of Pulses on our bodies and planet.
