Pulses are an integral part of the ecosystem, contributing to sustainable agricultural development worldwide and ensuring food security—the reason for this: the valuable source of protein of plant origin. Legumes occupy a special place in various diets around the world. They are particularly important in developing countries as they are a rich source of proteins, metals (Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, P, K and Mg), vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid) and water-soluble fibres. Therefore, and based on the above, the increase in the cultivation of pulses to cover the daily human diet seems to be a one-way street.
