Edible seeds are also known as legumes. Apart from sweet corn,
seeds usually grow in pods which are sometimes eaten along with
the seeds.

Examples are peas, beans, snow peas (mangetout), sprouted beans
and seeds and sweet corn.

PULSE




A pulse is an annual leguminous crop yielding from one to twelve seeds
of variable size, shape, and color within a pod. Pulses are used for
food and animal feed.

The term "pulse", as used by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO),
is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry seed. This excludes
green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops. Also
excluded are crops that are mainly grown for oil extraction (oilseeds like
soybeans and peanuts), and crops which are used exclusively for sowing
(clovers, alfalfa).

LENTIL




The lentil (Lens culinaris) (International Feed Number, 5-02-506) is
an edible pulse/bean. It is a bushy annual plant of the legume family,
grown for its lens-shaped seeds. It is about 40 centimetres (16 in)
tall and the seeds grow in pods, usually with two seeds in each.

Pulse vs. Legume - What's the Difference?


Legume:

The term "legume" refers to the plants whose fruit is enclosed in a pod.
Legumes represent a vast family of plants including more than 600 genera
and more than 13,000 species.

When growing, legumes fix nitrogen into the soil, which reduces the need
for chemical fertilizers. Well-known legumes include alfalfa, clover,
fresh peas, lupins, mesquite, soy and peanuts.



Pulse:

Pulses are part of the legume family, but the term “pulse” refers only to
the dried seed. Dried peas, edible beans, lentils and chickpeas are the
most common varieties of pulses. Pulses are very high in protein and fibre,
and are low in fat. Like their cousins in the legume family, pulses are
nitrogen-fixing crops that improve the environmental sustainability of
annual cropping systems.
