  • Introducing New Uses of Dry Peas, Lentils, and Chickpeas to the U.S
    INTRODUCING NEW USES OF DRY PEAS, LENTILS, AND CHICKPEAS TO THE U.S. FOOD INDUSTRY WITH EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS AND TECHNICAL DEMONSTRATIONS FY 2008 US farmers harvest ~2.6 million pounds of dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas each year. Nearly 75% is exported whereas domestic market consumption has remained fairly stagnant for over 20 years. Several years ago, the pea and lentil industry embarked on a major product development initiative to explore the use of dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas as ingredients in high-value food products. Moving more of these commodities into the domestic market would create new markets while decreasing grower and processor transportation costs significantly. This project represents Phase 2 of an initiative to introduce the concept to US food manufacturers of using dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas as ingredients to create a wide range of new high value foods that have not traditionally contained legumes such as biscuits, cookies, beverages, tortillas, nutrition/power/energy bars, dry starch mixes, flatbreads, pizza crusts, vegetarian spreads, and sauces. In Phase 1, key food industry professionals were reached at selected trade shows; additional technical research was conducted on the physical, chemical, and functional properties of the products; the technical research needs of R&D professionals were assessed; and work began to compile a comprehensive technical manual to guide product development specialists, nutritionists, and other food industry professionals in utilizing these new products. In Phase 2, the Washington Dry Pea and Lentil Commission (WDPLC) hosted an educational session at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in June 2009 that attracted over 40 attendees who learned about nutritional attributes and health benefits, use and functional properties of legumes as ingredients, and potential new applications in value-added products.

  • Classification and Botanical Description of Legumes
    Halley Allaire Taylor Brady Classification and Botanical Description of Legumes Legumes, or pulses, are flowering plants in the Leguminosae family. The word legume is derived from the Latin verb legere which means to gather. The term pulse has a more direct lineage. It derives from puls or porridge, a cooked bean dish which the ancient Romans were fond of eating. (Albala 7). This family is also known as Fabaceae, and both terms can be used interchangeably to indicate the some 690 genera and 18,000 species therein (Morris 365). The Leguminosae family is classified into three sub-families: Papilionoideae, Caesalpinioideae, and Mimosoideae. Each sub-family is identified by its flowers. Edible legume crops are mainly found in the sub-family Papilionoideae. This includes the soybean, chickpea, bean, and pea, among others (Morris 365). Other lesser known members of the legume family include clover, licorice, lentils, and the peanut. The peanut is in fact, biologically though not culinarily, defined as a woody, indehiscent legume. Unique to Fabaceae are the flowers and fruit. Like many flowers, those found on legume plants are hermaphroditic, containing both the stamen and pistil. This makes the plants self- fertile, meaning that an individual plant is able to reproduce by itself which can have the effect of limiting genetic diversity. However, hybridization occurs frequently in nature due to this characteristic, as any plant can pollinate another due to the hermaphroditic properties therein (Weaver 57). This creates difficulty in clearly defining the differences that enter between subspecies. The flower typically has five petals and an ovary with one carpel, cavity, and style (Morris 365).

    Full o’ Beans Tasty and affordable legume recipes for the whole family 1 Contents Why it’s good to be “Full o’ Beans” 3 Types of legumes 4 Time and cost saving tips 5 Cooking legumes 6 Lentil recipes 7 Kidney bean recipes 11 White bean recipes 15 (butter, haricot or cannellini beans) Chickpea recipes 20 Four bean mix recipes 25 Weights and measures 27 Five simple steps to 27 eating for a healthy heart 2 Why it’s good to be “Full o’ Beans” Legumes and beans are a great food – they’re full of goodness as well as being cheap, tasty, and quick and convenient to use. There are lots of different names for legumes, including dried peas, dried beans, lentils and pulses. You might know them better by their individual names like kidney beans or chickpeas. Here in New Zealand, legumes are most commonly eaten as good old baked beans. While they might not feature in many traditional Kiwi dishes, legumes are commonly eaten around the world and make a tasty addition to ethnic dishes. In the Mediterranean you’ll find them in minestrone or in pasta dishes, stews, soups and salads or white bean dip. In Middle Eastern dishes they are made into hummus and falafel. Caribbean and South American dishes use them extensively – where would Mexican cuisine be without bean burritos, refried beans and chilli con carne? Indian dishes feature legumes in dishes like dhal and spicy curries; and Asia has dishes like stuffed tofu pockets or edamame. Legumes can also help spice up your Kiwi favourites.

    Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Budget Estimates May 2009 Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Question: AQIS01 Division/Agency: Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Topic: New Zealand growers Hansard Page: 36 (26/05/2009) Senator Milne asked: Senator MILNE—Okay. If you would take on notice please where we are up to in terms of those agreement arrangements and how the New Zealand growers do it compared with how we do it in terms of those inspection services, because there is a strong view that AQIS has not restructured itself to put in place the efficiencies that reduce the costs to growers. You say it is a partnership. I think one side of the partnership feels very hard done by at the moment— Answer: Opportunities to reduce the costs of Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) inspection and certification through approved arrangements have been available to industry since 2001. Attached is a list of markets where industry can use approved arrangements to reduce AQIS’s involvement in export certification. There are 57 arrangements in place to export horticultural produce. Some sectors use these arrangements extensively. For example, the export of horticulture products from the Riverland in South Australia is predominantly under approved arrangements— 58.2 per cent of all certificates issued in South Australia are issued under the arrangements. Many clients prefer to use AQIS’s services due to commercial or seasonal limitations. The 40 per cent subsidy on export certification services has discouraged the uptake of arrangements, as the true cost of certification is not paid by clients using AQIS’s services, but 100 per cent of costs must be met by the company for providing those same services on AQIS’s behalf.
