SPECIAL FOODS GREAT FOR SUMMER PARTIES

It is good to think outside of the box when planning a holiday party. The secret ingredient is Pulses. One can easily improve the nutrition of a 4th of July meal without sacrificing flavor by just adding pulses to a favorite recipe. Pulses are the category of foods known as chickpeas, lentils, beans and dry peas. They are high in plant-based protein, fiber and other nutrients that help keep people full; making it a perfect summertime entertaining dish. From hamburger patties, seasonal salads to appetizers and more- Chef Lang even offers up a Southwest Guacamole Hummus to get the summer festivities started, that people can enjoy while waiting for those barbecue coals to warm up. Pulses are gluten-free and vegetarian, making them a great meal option for guests with dietary restrictions. Just adding one half-cup serving to a diet 3 times per week can aid in weight management, reaching recommended dietary fiber intake and more. For more information visit pulses.org/nap/
