How Pulse Crops Help Feed Humans and Animals

Posted by Gentle Processing™ on Sep 07, 2019

We live in an age where the average person can get anything they desire shipped directly to their door. Although a higher standard of living is very evident today, not everyone is so fortunate. People the world over are struggling to feed themselves and their families. Environmental impact, economic downturn, educational deficiencies and over population are just a few of the factors which lead to nutritional starvation.  We all need WHOLE FOOD.

There are numerous well-funded regional, national and international programs which claim they are the key to ending world hunger, but time and time again, these programs are doomed to fail. The key is to properly manage and provide food that maintains a high nutrient value, not just processed fillers. Pulse crops are our answer to feeding both humans and animals today and in the future.

Pulse Crops are Good for the Earth

Overplanting and draught rob the soil of the essential nutrients required for healthy living. This negative footprint only worsens annually as we continue to take and give little to nothing back.  Pulse crops to the rescue.  Although they take, they also give back. Legumes, as they grow, have proven to provide back essential organic matter.  Planting pulse crops can not only provide essential nutrients for future generations but improve soil when properly rotated.  This practice can heal the earth.

Ample Food, Less Water

Even though the earth is covered by 70% water only 2.5% is fresh water.  Attempts to attain and maintain a fresh water supply, especially in times of drought, is an enormous undertaking for producers. Regions dependent on high moisture levels to grow their crops can suffer greatly at times of water deficiencies. Pulse crops are a little different. They are less dependent on moisture levels to assist in growing than some of the more traditional crops.  This means less demand on the depleting fresh water sources to grow our food.

Fast Growing

Pulse crops do require much less water, as previously discussed, and they also house the benefit of being a fast-growing protein rich commodity. Some varieties mature in a period of 90 days or less from seeding time to harvest. With a faster and cleaner growing period, nutrient rich and protein abundant makeup, pulse crops will become the 1st choice in feeding our growing population.

Processing with Gentle Processing

The key to the success of any product lies in the way it is processed. Foods that are processed with excessive heat and chemicals often diminish the nutritional benefits of consuming the finished product. So, for pulse crops to be a chemical free safe source of food in hungry nations, they should be processed to maintain the highest possible nutrient levels. Gentle Processing™ holds the key.

During our process, electric frequencies interact with the commodity at 27 million cycles per second virtually destroying all pathogens making it safe and leaving it nutritionally abundant. We are confident that our processing technology does it the right/green way for the benefit of all.  Are your pulse crops processed with Gentle Processing™?
