Birmingham’s Public Health team is on a mission to help everyone discover just how amazing pulses are.  

Pulses may be small, but they are mighty! They are packed full of protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious addition to any meal, or a great snack for a boost of energy during the day. Their versatility means that they can be used in a wide variety of dishes and are a staple in many different cuisines.  

They are also great for the planet because growing pulses helps to improve the quality of the soil, fewer greenhouse gases are released, and they use much less water compared to other sources of protein such as meat.  

They can also help create nutritious meals that are affordable, particularly at a time when many households are concerned about the cost of living. 

Birmingham Public Health is promoting the power of pulses through its Full of Beans campaign, which aims to increase the amount of beans and pulses eaten in schools, in families, and in food businesses.

Under this initiative, and as World Pulses Day approaches, the team has created a feast of activities and resources, including booklets and online information, to help people discover, explore and celebrate beans and pulses through growing, tasting and cooking. Recipe ideas are also available via the Full of Beans communities on the Samsung Food app .

Keep an eye for further information, including activities and recipes, via Birmingham Public Health’s Healthy Brum social media channels on World Pulses Day itself.
