For those who are committed to increasing self-reliance and supporting locally available food sources, pulses are an often-overlooked source of ethical protein. Dan Jason, owner of Salt Spring Seeds, is a long-time advocate of pulses as a healthy and environmentally responsible alternative to meat and tofu. In The Power of Pulses, Jason provides tips on how North American home gardeners can grow and save their own delicious, vividly hued heirloom beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils and favas.

As well as being incredibly versatile in the kitchen, pulses are also rich in fiber, high in vitamin B, gluten-free and remarkably low on the glycemic index—contributing to good health and helping to reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic illnesses.

In
The Power of Pulses, talented foodie-sister team Hilary Malone and Alison Malone Eathorne collaborate with Jason to create 40+ vegetarian recipes featuring fresh and inventive uses for the garden’s bounty, including Broad Bean Succotash with Fresh Ricotta and Poached Eggs on Toast, Crispy Chickpea Power Bowl with Kale, Quinoa and Dukkah Crunch and even Black Bean Brownies with Espresso Ganache. Vibrantly illustrated, this exciting garden-to-kitchen volume is sure to inspire readers to harness the power of pulses.

    Garden writers like me have long known of the good work done by Dan Jason with edible legumes like peas, beans, and lentils. If you want to grow an unusual temperate-climate pulse crop, Dan’s seed company, Salt Spring Seeds, will get you started with their carefully curated collection of varieties.

    Unfortunately, garden writers like me also have little first-hand knowledge of how to grow chickpeas or lentils, and few of us have had the pleasure of growing, harvesting and storing our own peas and beans for year-round eating. This book fills an important information gap on growing these and other pulse crops, and it is the best source I have seen on drying, winnowing and storing these edible seeds.

    The book’s subtitle suggests that eating more protein-rich legumes can help save the world, a dubious claim until you see the recipe section developed by coauthors Hilary Malone and Alison Malone Eathorne. Who would have thought of adding pureed navy beans to pumpkin pie to boost its protein content and creaminess? I think I could survive quite nicely on a daily ration of the Malone sisters’ Picnic Bean Salad with Poppyseed Dressing. Directions are included for grinding your own flours from pulses to use in gluten-free baking, along with Dan’s personal method for taste-testing beans: Cook them plain, sample a few bites, and then move in with seasonings or sauces.

    Stunning photographs throughout the book showcase the natural beauty of these food crops, and provide the reader with a rare glimpse of what chickpeas or lentils look like on the plant. Dan’s threshing process if fully illustrated, too, but it is the beauty of the plants themselves make The Power of Pulses a pleasure to read.
