And Brax sums up how I feel about beans. Well, pulses, actually, pulses being the dried forms of peas, beans, lentils and chick peas (the fresh versions being slightly different).

And I am not the only one who loves pulses. The World Health Organization and the governments of both Canada and the USA want people to eat more beans, every week. There is currently an active challenge to add pulses to your diet — three ½ cup servings a week.

Three servings a week.

That is a pretty reasonable goal. My family would have to drop our beans every week to reach it, but if you want to add more pulses to your diet, I will be happy to share with you my love of pulses.
