History, tradition and origin

Beans and lentils were among the first crops farmed, and they remain the main protein for much of the world. Black beans stewed with pork became a national dish of Brazil. Chickpeas are eaten from India to the Mediterranean. Tofu, made by curdling soy milk, has been made in China for around two thousand years and spread with Buddhist vegetarian cooking.

Food economy and industry

Legumes take nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil, so they need little fertiliser and are used in crop rotation. India grows and eats the most pulses, and Canada is the leading exporter of lentils. Soybeans are one of the most traded crops in the world, though most go to animal feed and oil.
