Pulses are one of the important food crops globally due to their higher protein content.
Pulses are an important group of crops in India, which is also responsible for yielding large financial gains by amounting to a large part of the exports.

Pulses Provide much-needed protein to the carbohydrate-rich diet. Pulses are 20 to 25 percent protein by weight which is double the protein content of wheat and three times that of rice. India is the largest producer of pulses in the world.

The term “pulse” refers only to the dried seed. They are dried legumes that grow in a pod of one to twelve seeds
They include beans, lentils, peas, and other little seeds referred to as lentils or beans. “Daal” is often translated as “lentils” but actually refers to a split version of a number of lentils, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, and so on. Indian pulses are usually available in three types: the whole pulse, the split pulse with the skin on, and the split pulse with the skin removed.
