Ways to include pulses in diet!!

Pulses are a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Here are some ways in which you can include pulses in your diet

1) Sprout them: Having pulses in sprouts form increase the vitamin and mineral content and reduce anti nutrients and in turn allow enzymatic reaction which will help in breaking them down.

2) Have pulses along with grains/ millets- Pulses lacks essential amino acid (methionine and cysteine) which are present in grains and millets, so the combination of pulses and grain/ millet will help in getting the complete protein.

3) Sprinkle some lemon when having dal, as lemon contains vitamin C and dal contains Iron, Vitamin C helps in absorption of iron.
