2016 International Year of Pulses (IYP) was instrumental in increasing awareness of how pulses contribute to our nutrition, our health and environmental sustainability.
The Alberta Pulse Showcase was a successful Alberta event as part of the 2016 IYP celebration. In partnership with the Alberta Pulse Growers and the Food and Bio-Processing Branch, new products were developed with industry partners that used Canadian peas, beans, faba beans and their fractions. Products presented at the Alberta Pulse Showcase included:
- Ready to eat meat bars
- Ravioli
- Old fashioned black and red licorice
- Hot Italian and chorizo sausages
- Decadent rich chocolate cake
- Thin and chrispy chips
- Sweet delicate macarons
- Savoury beef patties
- Frozen vanilla and chocolate flavoured desserts
- Healthy dog treats
Continuing beyond 2016 we would like to further increase awareness and the local consumption of pulses and pulse ingredients in value added food products.
