Pulse

Under this name are ranged the edible seeds of leguminous plants. The most important of all kinds of pulse are peas and beans; after these may be ranked kidney-beans, lentils, chick-peas, etc. The best kinds of pulse contain a great deal of nutriment. They are not, however, easy of digestion, and are apt to produce flatulence.
