pulses
Beans and lentils
Pulses are the edible seeds of legumes—beans, lentils, chickpeas, and dried peas.
The term appears most often in nutrition, agriculture, and international food contexts: Pulses are a good source of protein.
In everyday American English, people usually say beans or lentils rather than pulses.
Separately, pulses is the plural of pulse—rhythmic beats or throbs: electrical pulses, the pulses of light from a strobe.
