Happy #WorldPulsesDay! Let's celebrate the mighty lentil—a global staple, nutritional powerhouse and sustainability hero! 5️⃣ Reasons to love #lentils: 🥦 Packed with fiber and essential nutrients, lentils are a sustainable protein source. 🌍 Adapted to diverse climates and soil types, they support farmers worldwide. 🏺 Originating from the Fertile Crescent, lentils now grow across 5.5 million hectares globally. 🛡️ Farmers love their genetic diversity with resistance to pests, drought and poor soils. 🍛 Incredibly versatile in the kitchen, lentils absorb flavors and shine in traditional and modern dishes.
