On February 10, the United Nations will celebrate World Pulse Day to raise awareness about dry edible beans and other pulse crops. Pulse Canada noted dry beans are one of the most versatile foods on the planet. Pulses are also low in fat, high in fiber and rich in protein. This food can also help with blood sugar management and diabetes because it does not cause blood sugar spikes. Dry beans are also a heart-healthy food choice. “They should wear superhero capes,” cited Pulse Canada.
Founded in 1976, Northarvest Bean Growers Association (NBGA) represents the largest group of dry bean farmers in America, working together to fund research, promote, and produce the finest beans in the world.
NBGA works to better the dry bean industry through promotion, field & nutrition research, market development, monitoring governmental policy, advocating for greater consumer choices, and focusing on the needs of our producers.
NBGA advocates for its 2,400+ farm families across MN & ND that grow dry beans and is committed to strengthening the relationship between growers, industry partners, and consumers across the world.
