Whoa, I did not know that. I eat legumes 2 or 3 times a week, and I like to cook them from scratch because they have a better texture and flavour. This recipe is a Friday night favourite — easy and good with avocado and AlbaLisa corn tortillas. #worldpulseday

The global lentil market will hit 40.6M tons by 2032 ... they should be fortified!
Why fortify pulses?
• Adds iron, folic acid, zinc
• Boosts protein bioavailability
• Lowers heart disease & stroke risks
• Improves nutritional outcomes
