WHAT ARE PULSES?

Pulses are also known and often referred to as legumes. Pulse is the term for the edible seeds of legumes (plantswith a pod), which includes: Dry peas Dry beans Lentils Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) Pulses do not include fresh green beans or peas. Although they are related to pulses because they are also edible seeds of podded plants, soybeans and peanuts differ because they have a much higher fat content, whereas pulses contain virtually no fat.

What are the health benefits of pulses?

Pulses are a nutritional power house! They are rich in protein, fibre and complex carbohydrates, low in fat and sodium and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients make pulses an important part of any healthy diet, including the gluten-free diet. Pulses are a good source of plant protein. Eating pulses with gluten-free grains, nuts or seeds ensures a high quality, complete protein. Pulses are very high in fibre. They contain both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps lower cholesterol and other blood lipid levels, while insoluble fibre helps with digestion and maintaining regular bowel movements. High-fibre diets may also reduce the risk of certain cancers. Fibre-rich foods like pulses are often more filling than other foods, helping you keep full until your next meal, an added bonus for those watching their weight.

Yellow Split Pea Soup, page 19

In order to avoid digestive issues when adding highfibre foods like pulses to your diet, gradually increase your intake and make sure you drink enough water! Pulses have a low glycemic index. Most of the carbohydrates in pulses are fibre and resistant or slowly digested starch that prevent blood sugars from rising quickly after a meal or snack. Eating foods with a low glycemic index can help you to control your blood glucose levels, maintain high energy levels throughout the day, control your appetite and lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Pulses are low in fat and sodium making them a hearthealthy option. Pulses are also free of trans fats and cholesterol. Pulses are an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin, which has been shown to lower homocysteine levels. Evidence suggests that high levels of homocysteine (a type of protein) damages the lining of arteries and promotes plaque buildup and blood clots. Over time, this damage can slow or block blood flow to the heart or brain causing a heart attack or stroke. Folate

also plays a role in cell development. This is especially important during infancy and pregnancy when new cells are rapidly being formed. Pulses are a good source of other B vitamins such as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and pyridoxine (B6). B vitamins are essential for healthy cells and help our bodies create energy from foods. Pulses are high in potassium, a mineral which helpsregulate fluid balance and maintain normal blood pressure. Pulses are a good source of various minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium that play important roles in the body. For more information about the nutrient composition of pulses see Tables A & B on pages 9-10. Make sure to drink enough water when adding high fibre foods like pulses to your diet!

CELIAC DISEASE AND THE GLUTEN CONNECTION

Celiac disease is an inherited autoimmune disorder that affects 1:100 people. This digestive disease is triggered by the consumption of gluten - a protein found in wheat, rye and barley grains. When an individual with celiac disease ingests gluten, the lining of the small intestinal tract is damaged and important nutrients such as iron, calcium, vitamin D and folate cannot be absorbed. Gluten not only affects the gastrointestinal system but many other organ systems in the body. This can cause a wide range of symptoms that vary from one person to another. Some people can have numerous symptoms while others may only have a few symptoms. Symptoms of celiac disease can include nausea, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation (or both), lactose intolerance, weight loss, mouth ulcers, extreme fatigue, irritability, bone and joint pain, easy bruising of the skin, swelling of the ankles and hands, menstrual irregularities, elevated liver enzymes, migraine headaches, depression, ataxia (balance and coordination difficulties), neuropathy and a skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis. Children may also have delayed growth, dental enamel defects and concentration and learningdifficulties. Untreated celiac disease can lead to nutritional deficiencies including anemia and osteoporosis, infertility (in both women and men), miscarriage, development of other autoimmune disorders and intestinal cancer. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet for life. All forms of wheat, barley and rye must be eliminated. This includes kamut, spelt, einkorn, emmer, faro, durum, triticale, semolina, bulgur and couscous, barley malt, barley malt extract, barley malt flavour, malt vinegar, as well as barley-based beer, ale and lager. Gluten is found in a wide variety of foods such as breads and other baked goods, cereals, pastas, soups, prepared meats (e.g. luncheon meats, hot dogs, burgers, imitation seafood), sauces, salad dressings, seasonings, snack foods, flavoured coffees and herbal teas, candies (e.g., licorice, chocolates, chocolate bars), as well as some supplements and medications. The treatment for GS is also a glutenfree diet. Further research about GS is needed in order to better understand the condition and itsmanagement.

Many foods are naturally glutenfree including plain meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, pulses, milk, yogurt, cheese, vegetables and fruits. Avariety of gluten-free grains, flours and starches can be substituted for wheat, rye and barley. Agrowing number of gluten-free ready-to-eat baked products, baking mixes and flours, hot and cold cereals, crackers, snack foods, entres, soups, pastas, sauces and snack bars can be found in health food and grocery stores, as well as from online retailers.

Gluten sensitivity

Some individuals may be sensitive to gluten but do not have celiac disease. This is referred to as gluten sensitivity or non-celiac glutensensitivity (GS). Unlike celiac disease, GS is not an autoimmune disorder nor does it cause damage to the small intestine. However, symptoms are highly variable and may often be similar to celiac disease making diagnosis a challenge.

Nutrition and the gluten-free diet

Many gluten-free products are made with refined flours and starches such as white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch and cornstarch. These are low in fibre, protein, iron, B vitamins and other nutrients. Also, these products are not usually enriched with vitamins and minerals like gluten-containing baked items, cereals, pastas and flours. Gluten-free products are also often higher in sugar, fat and calories.

Adding pulses can boost the nutritional quality of gluten-free foods. Pulses are rich in fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals, and are low in fat - the perfect addition to the gluten-free diet! See how pulses and pulse flours compare to rice and other common gluten-free flours and starches in tables below.
If you eat rice regularly try mixing half with pulses. This will provide a complete protein as well as boost the fibre, mineral and vitamin content of your diet.

PULSES FOR A HEALTHY PLANET

When youre eating products made from pulses, youre making a choice that is good for the environment. Pulses take less energy to grow than other crops, producing fewer greenhouse gases. Pulse crops are also one of the most environmentally-friendly sources of protein, contributing to sustainable food production by protecting and improving soil and water resources.

USING PULSES IN THE GLUTEN-FREE DIET

Pulses are versatile, delicious and an economical gluten-free option. Cooked lentils, peas, beans and chickpeas, as well as pulse flours can be incorporated into the diet in a variety of ways.

Easy ways to eat more pulses

1 Include 1/3 cup (75 ml) of cooked black, white orcranberry beans in an omelette to add protein andfibre. 2 Add 1 cup (250 ml) of cooked whole or pured chickpeas or lentils to your spaghetti sauce or chili and reduce the amount of ground beef used. This lowers the fat while adding fibre.

6 When making gluten-free pizza, add a handful of black beans to your usual toppings. 7 Toss 1 cup (250 ml) of canned chickpeas or black beans with any salad for a different twist. 8 Serve hummus with carrots, celery or other vegetables or spread the hummus on gluten-free crackers or rice cakes. 9 Mix beans or lentils with wild or brown rice and herbs and serve as a side dish or main meal. 10 Add pured lentils, black or white beans to baked recipes. See Pages 19, 23, 27, 28 and 29 for recipes. 11 Mix (125 ml) to 1 cup (250 ml) cooked and mashed white beans into chicken salad, tuna salad or egg salad for sandwiches. 12 Replace half the amount of oil in a muffin recipe with the same amount of pured lentils to lower the fat while boosting the fibre and protein content.

3 Mix cup (125 ml) of black beans into 1 cup (250 ml) of gluten-free salsa. Add some chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an easy party dip. Serve with raw vegetables or gluten-free crackers. 4 Drain and pure 1 cup (250 ml) of canned lentils with your favourite herb and spread on toasted gluten-free bread, bagel or English muffin. 5 Add cup (125 ml) of cooked lentils, chickpeas or beans to soups. This works best for broth style soups.

How many pulses should I eat?

Canadas Food Guide recommends eating beans and lentils often as an alternative to meat products. One serving of pulses equals cup (175 ml) or about the size of a tennis ball. The United States Department of Agriculture MyPyramid food guidance system includes pulses in both the Meat & Beans group as well as the Vegetable group. One-half cup of pulses counts as a two ounce equivalent in the Meat & Beans group or one serving in the Vegetable group. According to the USDA, consuming dry beans and peas is recommended for everyone because of their high nutrient content. http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/dry_beans_peas_table.html Pulses can be eaten every day. If you do not eat pulses often, start by adding them to your diet gradually, as incorporating high fibre foods into the diet slowly will help to control bloating and gas if you are not used to them. Remember to drink plenty of fluids, especially water, when increasing fibre intake to help aid digestion.

Buying, storing and cooking pulses

SOAKING TIPS AND METHODS

Be sure to check all dry pulses before rinsing or soaking. Remove pulses with shriveled or broken skins or the occasional pebble, twig or gluten-containing grains (wheat, rye or barley). Dry beans, whole peas and chickpeas must be soaked prior to cooking because their skins do not readily absorb water. Dry lentils and split peas do not need to be soaked. Simply rinse them before cooking. For every 1 cup (250 ml) of pulses, soak with 3 cups (750ml) water. Whole peas can be soaked for 1-2hours. Beans and whole chickpeas require longer soaking than whole peas (e.g., minimum 4 hours; preferably soak for 8hours or over night). TABLE C SOAKING METHOD FOR DRY PULSES
Long, cold soak or overnight
Let stand 12 hours or overnight in refrigerator

You can find most pulse products in grocery stores, health and natural food stores. Look for pulses in the ethnic or canned food sections or in the baking ingredients aisle. Consult www.pulsecanada.com to find information on where to buy pulses and pulse flours. We recommend that you do not buy dry pulses from bulk bins as the risk of cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains and flours is high.

WHEN BUYING DRY PULSES, LOOK FOR:

Bright coloured seeds Uniform size Smooth skins without chips or shriveled seed coats Dry pulses will keep for years if stored in tightly covered containers in a cool, dark, dry place. It is best to use pulses within one year of purchasing. The longer a pulse is stored, the drier it becomes, which increases the cooking time. Canned pulses are very convenient as they are readyto-use. However, canned pulses should be rinsed and drained before using. This can reduce the sodium content by up to 40%. To do so, drain the contents of the can in a strainer, then rinse the pulses under tap water for at least 30 seconds and allow to drain for two more minutes. Canned pulses store well in cool, dry places. They may be stored for one year.
When buying canned pulses make sure to read the label. Avoid those with added wheat flour or wheat starch.

INSTRUCTIONS

Quick soak
Bring pulses and water to boil in a saucepan Boil gently for 2 minutes Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour

Microwave soak
Combine pulses and water in microwavable dish Cover and microwave on high for 10-15 minutes Let stand for 1 hour

Always discard the soaking water by putting pulses into a strainer and rinsing them well. This washes away the carbohydrates and sugars that cause gas.

Check cooking pulses periodically to make sure they dont boil dry; add more water or broth if necessary.

STORING COOKED PULSES

Cooked pulses can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Separate cooked pulses into 1 or 2 cup (250 or 500 ml) portions and freeze in freezer bags or small containers. Cooking a big batch of pulses to freeze will save you time on delicious meals like soups, casseroles or other favourite dishes.

* Pressure cook times are for pulses that have been pre-soaked and are based on the quick or cold water release method, in which the pressure cooker is placed under cold water after removing from the burner to lower pressure. If a natural release method is used instead (pressure is left to fall on its own), the cooking times need to be reduced.

BAKING SODA
Some recipes call for baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to shorten the cooking process, especially if using hard water. Baking soda increases

the absorption of water, but it also destroys thiamin, an important B vitamin found in pulses. Baking soda may also make the texture of pulses too soft, an undesired side effect. Therefore, using baking soda to aid in

cooking pulses is not recommended. If hard water is your only choice and you need to add baking soda, limit the amount to 1/8 teaspoon per 2 cups (0.5ml per 500 ml) water.

USING PULSES IN GLUTEN-FREE BAKED RECIPES

Oatmeal-Coconut Raisin Cookies, page 29

Pizza Crust, page 22

BENEFITS OF BAKING WITH PULSES:

Using pulses instead of commonly used gluten-free flours and starches can boost the protein, fibre and vitamin and mineral content of foods. The high protein content of pulses improves the texture of baked goods. The high fibre content and moisture from pulses extends the shelf life of baked goods. Baked goods may be heavier and more dense when made with pulses, while crusts are smoother and remain fresher for a longer time.

Gluten-free baking tips

To measure flour, whisk it in the canister a few times to aerate it and then lightly spoon it into a measuring cup before leveling it off with a knife. Dont use the measuring cup as a scoop; youll get up to 20% more flour in the recipe which can result in dry baked items. Dont pack the flour down and dont measure dry ingredients like flour or sugar in spouted glass measuring cups (meant for liquids) because you may get more than necessary. To avoid cross-contamination with other glutencontaining grains and flours, buy gluten-free flours and pulses in sealed packages rather than in bulk bins. We used flours from Best Cooking Pulses and Bobs Red Mill to develop the recipes in this resource book. To replace unsalted butter with dairy-free margarine or buttery spread both contain salt you may need to reduce the salt in the recipe by 25%. Be sure to read
14

the labels to make sure these dairy substitutes are appropriate for your diet. In the United States, Earth Balance buttery spreads are gluten-free, dairy-free and available in soy and soy-free versions. In Canada, Becel Vegan is gluten-free and lactose-free. Although lowcalorie margarines or buttery spreads may be used in cooking, they are not appropriate for baking because their higher water content can upset the balance between liquid and dry ingredients. Baking recipes work best with cows milk or milk substitutes made from coconut, hemp, nuts, rice, orsoy. Fat-free or unsweetened versions of these dairysubstitutes are not recommended because they lack enough oil and sugar necessary for pleasant taste and texture. The high moisture content of pulse pures may require longer baking times. Pulse flours absorb more moisture than other flours. More liquid or eggs may be necessary in baking.

USING XANTHAN GUM WHERE?

Cookies Cakes Muffins, Quick Breads Bread Pizza
Blueberry-Lemon Quick Bread, page 25

HOW MUCH?
tsp (1 ml) per cup (250 ml) of flour tsp (2 ml) per cup (250 ml) of flour tsp (4 ml) per cup (250 ml) of flour 1 to 1 tsp (5 ml - 7 ml) per cup (250 ml) of flour 2 tsp (10 ml) per cup (250 ml) of flour

Using xanthan gum

Gluten-free baked goods require xanthan gum or guar gum to prevent crumbling. These gums perform the function of gluten and are essential for success, so dont omit them.

Be sure to follow the recommended times for mixing, blending or beating. Since gluten-free baked items have no gluten, there is no worry of over-working the gluten. The extra time needed to work the batter will help the xanthan gum complete its task as a thickener and binder.

GLUTEN-FREE BAKING TIPS (CONTD) When measuring flours, be sure to fluff the flour with a whisk or fork and then spoon it into the measuring cup. Doing so will lighten the flour and avoid having adense dry baked good. Dont leave gluten-free baked items in the pan to cool for too long. They will get a soggy bottom. Liftthem out of the pan and let them finish cooling on a coolingrack. Xanthan gum is a very common ingredient in gluten-free baking. Make sure to follow amounts listed exactly, as using too much could lead to chewier, denser products, while using too little could result in a crumbly product. Many gluten-free baked good recipes call for more than one type of flour. The reason for this is because different gluten-free flours have different ratios

of proteins and starches, not to mention flavours. Combining flours helps produce optimal end productsin texture and taste. When baking gluten-free breads and rolls, it is important to use pans with sides or walls. This helps to keep the normal shape of breads or rolls made without gluten. Gluten normally helps form and keep the classic round shapes of bread loaves and buns. Without the walls on the pan, the gluten-free bread or rolls you are attempting to make will most likely fall flat. Nonstick (gray, not black) metal pans are best for breads, muffins, cakes and cupcakes. Gluten-free baked goods are best eaten fresh! Theytend to get dry and dense if left out for too long. Some recipes call for the batter to sit for 10-20 minutes. The reason for doing this is to give the baking powder/ soda a chance to rise.

Pulse pure recipe

Pulse pure can be made from canned or boiled pulses. Here are two methods:

STARTING WITH RAW PULSES

1 Add 1/3 cup (75 ml) sorted and rinsed raw lentils or beans to2cups boiling water. Cook according to Table D until soft. Drain; discard the cooking water, leaving you with about 1 cups (300 ml) cooked pulses. 2 Place lentils in a food processor, add cup (50 ml) hot waterandpure (scraping down sides of bowl frequently) until the mixture has the consistency ofcanned pumpkin, about 3 minutes. If needed, addadditional water, 15 ml (1tablespoon) at a time, to reach this consistency. 3 Makes about 1 cup (250 ml) pure. Refrigerate or freeze unusedpure. Check out tasty recipes using pulse pures on pages 19, 23, 27, 28 & 29.

STARTING WITH CANNED PULSES

(LENTILS OR BEANS ARE BEST) 1 Rinse and drain a 15-ounce can of pulses; discard the liquid; yields about 1 cups (300 ml) pulses. 2 Place the pulses in a food processor, add cup (50ml) hot water and pure (scraping down sides of bowl frequently) until the mixture has the consistency of canned pumpkin, about 3 minutes. If needed, add additional water, 15ml (1 tablespoon) at a time, toreach this consistency. 3 Makes about 1 cup (250 ml) pure. Refrigerate or freeze unused pure (see tips for storing cookedpulses).
