“The Taste of Pulses” - Let’s celebrate World Pulses Day together!
INCREASE just launched “The Taste of Pulses”, an initiative to celebrate World Pulses Day, inviting citizens and restaurants to get involved and share the wonders of legumes.
World Pulses Day, established by the FAO and celebrated annually on February 10th, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the nutritional benefits, sustainability, and importance of pulses such as beans, lentils, and chickpeas in promoting food security and healthy diets.
From February 8th to 10th, everyone is welcome to participate to the INCREASE invitative “The Taste of Pulses" - citizens, chefs, restaurateurs, canteens, associations, schools, and more! Celebrate World Pulses Day by preparing and sharing delicious legume-based dishes. Plus, don’t miss the chance to compete in our culinary contest.
