In 2004, pulse production reached a record 4.5 million tonnes (about 8% of global production) or 7% of arable crop production in Canada. Last year’s crop included 3.3 million tonnes of peas, 960,000 Peter Watts* tonnes of lentils, 220,000 tonnes of dry beans and 51,000 tonnes of chickpeas. As for many other crops, Canada relies heavily on export markets to sell pulses. On average, around 70% of Canada’s pulse crops are sold off shore each year. But given relatively low returns from the world market in recent years, Canada’s pulse growers have begun to look at opportunities in their own back yard. North America provides a large, potentially high- value market with ample room for growth in value-added food and industrial products derived from pulses. To translate opportunity into real outlets for their products, Canada’s producers have started to allocate more research dollars toward quality and utilisation to gain a better understanding of the functional properties of pulses, their potential applications as well as their nutritional benefits. The increased focus on utilisation by the pulse industry will complement and strengthen existing research being conducted by the scientific community and food industry. The growing need for more value-added opportunities for Canadian pulse crops was given a boost in the spring of 2005 with funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to support innovation in product development, focusing on opportunities in North America’s food markets. The new initiative, dubbed the ‘Pulse Innovation Project’, will have its headquarters at Pulse Canada – Canada’s national voice for pulse growers based in Winnipeg. The project will support the development and commercialisation of pulse foods that are economic, convenient and enhance nutrition and health. The Pulse Innovation Project will receive broad input from the scientific community and food processing industry in the development of a strategic approach to the expansion of markets for peas, lentils, beans and chickpeas in North America.

Soybeans are small round seeds, each with a tiny hilum (small brown spot). They are made up of three basic parts. Each soybean has a seed coat (outside cover that protects the seed), VOCABULARY cotyledon (the first leaf or pair of leaves within the embryo that stores food), and the embryo (part of a seed that develops into Cultivar: a variety of plant that has been created or a new plant, including the stem, leaves and roots). Soybeans, selected intentionally and maintained through cultivation. like most legumes, perform nitrogen fixation. Modern soybean Embryo: part of a seed that develops into a new plant, cultivars generally reach a height of around 1 m (3.3 ft), and including the stem, leaves and roots. take 80–120 days from sowing to harvesting. Exports: products or items that the U.S. sells and sends to other countries. Exports include raw products like whole soybeans or processed products like soybean oil or Leaflets soybean meal. Fertilizer: any substance used to fertilize the soil, especially a commercial or chemical manure. Hilum: the scar on a seed marking the point of attachment to its seed vessel (the brown spot). Leaflets: sub-part of leaf blade. All but the first node of soybean plants produce leaves with three leaflets. Legume: plants that perform nitrogen fixation and whose fruit is a seed pod. Beans, peas, clover and alfalfa are all legumes. Nitrogen Fixation: the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen Leaf into a nitrogen compound by certain bacteria, such as Stem rhizobium in the root nodules of legumes.

  • Soy Free Diet Avoiding Soy
    SOY FREE DIET AVOIDING SOY An allergy to soy is common in babies and young children, studies show that often children outgrow a soy allergy by age 3 years and the majority by age 10. Soybeans are a member of the legume family; examples of other legumes include beans, peas, lentils and peanut. It is important to remember that children with a soy allergy are not necessarily allergic to other legumes, request more clarification from your allergist if you are concerned. Children with a soy allergy may have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, difficulty breathing, and or a skin reaction after eating or drinking soy products. These symptoms can be avoided by following a soy free diet. What foods are not allowed on a soy free diet? Soy beans and edamame Soy products, including tofu, miso, natto, soy sauce (including sho yu, tamari), soy milk/creamer/ice cream/yogurt, soy nuts and soy protein, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (TVP) Caution with processed foods - soy is widely used manufactured food products – remember to carefully read labels. o Soy products and derivatives can be found in many foods, including baked goods, canned tuna and meat, cereals, cookies, crackers, high-protein energy bars, drinks and snacks, infant formulas, low- fat peanut butter, processed meats, sauces, chips, canned broths and soups, condiments and salad dressings (Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH ASIAN CUISINE: Asian cuisine are considered high-risk for people with soy allergy due to the common use of soy as an ingredient and the possibility of cross-contamination, even if a soy-free item is ordered.

This study aimed to investigate consumption, knowledge, attitudes, and culinary use of legumes in a convenience sample of Australians. An online computer-based survey was used to gather data and demographic characteristics. Respondents (505 individuals answered in full or in part) were regular consumers of legumes (177/376 consumed legumes 2-4 times weekly). Chickpeas, green peas, and kidney beans were most often consumed, and were made into most commonly Mexican, then Indian and Middle Eastern meals. Consumers correctly identified protein and dietary fibre (37%) as key nutritional attributes.
