08 Feb 2019 --- The first-ever World Pulses Day will take place this weekend on February 10. Following the success of the 2016 International Year of the Pulse, the UN-declared global one-day event is now an annual opportunity to celebrate pulses, the superfood category that includes dry peas, lentils, chickpeas and beans. The USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council (USADPLC) and the American Pulse Association (APA) are supporting the occasion with global events as pulses continue to reign supreme in the plant-based food sectors, on nutritional and sustainability grounds.
