Did you know that 2016 is the International Year of Pulses? It has been so declared by the United Nations General Assembly and aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition.

Pulse crops include lentils, beans, peas and chickpeas and are a vital source of plant-based proteins and amino acids. And not only are they nutritious and delicious, but they are pretty plentiful right here in Huron County. Hensall is the White Bean Capital of Canada, after all!

Here's how you can easily put more pulses on your plate:
  • Find local organically grown black turtle, kidney, and borlotti beans from Whitefield Farm right here at the Mercantile retail space
  • Bornholm-based Full of Beans also have their gluten-free bean-based baking mixes and bean soup mixes at the Mercantile
  • Speaking of soup, Feast for Good's vegan soups are chock full of beans and lentils
  • And speaking of the White Bean Capital of Canada - this Hensall White Bean Cassoulet recipe looks amazing!
  • Check out Pulse Canada's incredible selection of pulse-based recipes for more inspiration
