A practical guide to pulses
Know what you are buying and how to prepare it.
What matters when choosing pulses?
Details should describe the specific bean or lentil.
Condition

Pack information
Check weight, storage information, and packaging details.
From package to pot
Cooking needs vary with the type and age of the pulse.
Inspect and rinse pulses. Many dry beans and chickpeas benefit from soaking, while lentils often cook faster. We will publish guidance for each actual PARKHOY item once tested.
