Pulses - Bog af Qurban Ali, Muhammad (Univ of Florida at Gainesville) Waseem, mfl. - Paperback
A pulse (Latin \puls\, from Greek \¿¿¿¿¿¿\ - poltos, \porridge\) is an annual leguminous crop yielding from one to twelve seeds of variable size, shape, and color within a pod. Pulses are used for food and animal feed. The term \pulse\, as used by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry seed. This excludes green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops. Also excluded are crops that are mainly grown for oil extraction..
