I had never heard of this either so I looked it up. It’s defined as the edible ripe seed of a plant belonging to the bean family. They grow in pods. Some examples are peas, lentils and chickpeas.
vegetarian food sources are generally classified as cereals and pulses.
Cereals are carbohydrate sources like wheat, rice.corn etc.
Pulses are protein sources, mostly legumes like beans,lentils etc
