The 68th United Nations General Assembly declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses. Pulses have a number of health and nutritional benefits. Incredibly rich in their nutritional value, pulses are small but packed with proteins, complex carbohydrates, micronutrients, protein and B-vitamins, which are crucial parts of a healthy diet. Pulses are low in fat and rich in fibre and are excellent for managing cholesterol, digestive health and regulating energy levels.
San Remo now offer a Pulse Pasta which comes in 2 variations, penne and spaghetti and is the perfect choice for a tasty and nutritious meal! It is made using flour from pulses including: peas, lentils, chickpeas and borlotti beans instead of wheat to boost the protein content and other nutritional benefits.
