00:00Namaskar, India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world, accounting

00:08for about 32% of the world area and 26% of the world's production. Pulses are the powerhouse

00:18of nutrients. They are rich source of dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, starch, minerals

00:25such as potassium, iron, zinc, etc. They are low in fat, being the plant food, contain

00:32low cholesterol. Let's see what are the benefits of eating pulse. Pulses help prevent constipation.

00:39They may help reduce cholesterol. Pulses have high level of vitamin B folate. They are good

00:45source of proteins and amino acids. They have a low glycemic index. Despite their incredible

00:52benefits, many of us are making mistakes in how we prepare and consume them from digestion

01:00troubles to nutrient loss. Small errors can have a big impact. Let's look some of the

01:07major mistakes you may be making. The first mistake is not soaking pulses properly. Have

01:14you ever felt bloated or gassy after eating pulses? That because pulses contain anti-nutrients

01:21like phytic acid and lectins, which can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption. This

01:29is how you should soak pulses for a long time. Chickpeas and kidney beans soak for 8 to 12 hours.

01:37Without soaking, they remain hard and can cause digestive distress. Touran masoor dal soaked

01:43for 1 to 4 hours. Not soaking can take longer time to cook and these too can create bloating. Black

01:51beans soak for 6 to 8 hours. If not soak, they can lead to gas and indigestion. Soaking reduces

01:58compounds like phytic acid and lectins. Soaking pulses also make them easier to digest. So never forget

02:06to soak your pulses and discard the soaking water and rinse well before cooking. The next mistake

02:13could be over cooking or under cooking pulses. If they are undercooked, they remain tough and

02:20hard to digest. But if you overcook them, you lose essential vitamins and minerals like B vitamin

02:27and iron. The ideal cooking method is to use a pressure cooker or slowly shimmer for a right

02:33amount of time, almost for 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the pulse. The third mistake is

02:40not eating pulse and grains in their right ratio. That is of 1 is to 3 or 1 is to 2 for rice.

02:49That is, you must have one pulse of pulses for every three parts of grain or two parts of rice. Most

02:57of you reduce the grain and overeat the pulses thinking it will be good for weight loss. Pulses

03:03don't have amino acid called methiodine, but it has lysine while grains don't have lysine, but

03:10have methiodine. When you eat pulses and grain in the ratio of 1 is to 3, you are balancing this ratio

03:17of essential amino acid that your body needs. Another mistake is eating too much pulses at once. Pulses are

03:26high in fiber and protein, but too much at once can cause bloating and discomfort. Start with smaller

03:34portions and gradually increase your intake. Also cooking with digestion friendly spices like cumin,

03:43fennel or ginger can help ease digestion. The last big mistake is not storing and cooking pulses in the

03:50right way. Improper storage can lead to insect infestation and nutrient loss. Always store pulses in an

03:59airtight container in a cool dry place. While cooking, avoid salt, acidic ingredients like tomatoes too early

04:08as they can harden the pulses and can increase cooking time. Instead, add them when pulses have softened

04:17after cooking to get the best texture and taste. These are some of the most common mistakes while consuming

04:24pulses. Avoid them and then you can enjoy all the goodness and benefits of pulses. Namaskar
