The latest blog from Hodmedod's on how the UK could break its dependence on imported soy animal feedstuffs, much of which is grown in deforested areas of the world.
(Nick Saltmarsh, Josiah Meldrum and William Hudson founded Hodmedod in 2012 to supply beans and other products from British farms).

I have *so much* locally grown quinoa in my pantry and IT IS TIME TO USE IT. I also have many other grains, many locally grown in the Willamette Valley (Einkorn wheat! Farro! Emmer! Blah blah BLAH!), and about 30 kinds of beans and lentils. Would like to deplete much of the pantry this summer for restocking from my local "Fill Your Pantry" farmers' event this fall. SO, mastodon buddies, if you have recommended #beans or #pulses and/or #grains #recipes, lay 'em on me!

Also in local #news this morning. #Police report #overnight that #thieves, disguised as #paramedics have broken into a #vegan couple’s home in #London where their #pulses were taken!

So pleased with my delivery today! If you haven’t tried Hodmedod’s pulses, give them a go! I’ve had most of these before and they are really good. This was a special offer for National pulse day - 33% discount. #hodmedods #pulses #vegetarian #vegan

Today is #WorldPulsesDay! #Pulses contain nitrogen-fixing properties that can help to improve #soil fertility 🌱.

Sustainable and fertile soil is essential for #environmental health – a study offers a new framework for monitoring soil functions.

#DidYouKnow: Intercropping with #Pulses increases farm biodiversity and creates a more diverse landscape for animals and insects.

The nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses can improve soil fertility, which improves and extends the productivity of farmland.

Pulses can contribute to #ClimateChange mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil. #WorldPulsesDay

“It is now clear that some #diets are particularly good for the brain. One recent study concludes that sticking to the “#MediterraneanDiet”, high in #vegetables, fruit, #pulses and #wholegrains, low in red and processed meats and saturated fats, decreases the chances of experiencing #strokes, #cognitiveimpairment and #depression.” #plantbased #plantbaseddiet https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2022/12/20/how-food-affects-the-mind-as-well-as-the-body

I enjoy discovering musical pieces that somehow remind me of #architecture and #infrastructure . I find clues in #patterns #structures and #pulses . Definitely inspired by how films and docs have used music in relation to this theme before.

Might be a genre, probably dissertations written on it, no idea. But cool hobby (cool, as in the eye of the beholder!)

#Punjab #Farmers were encouraged to shift away from #bajra #pulses #oilseeds #chana & enter #wheat-#paddy cycle by a assured price mechanism policy; why not assure MSP for #pulses to Punjab farmers, which can cut 16,627 crore imports, reduce paddy acreage & paddy #straw ?
