Question

what are pulses? what are oilseeds​

Answer 1

Pulses, generally, are low in oil, whereas oilseeds contain between 18-50% oil, with sunflower seeds ranking the highest. The oils in grain are unsaturated, the main fatty acids being linoleic and oleic. Maize, oats and oil-bearing seeds are a good source of essential fatty acids for animals.

• Pulses are a type of leguminous crop that are harvested solely for the dry seed. Dried beans, lentils and peas are the most commonly known and consumed types of pulses. Pulses do not include crops which are harvested green (e.g. green peas, green beans)—these are classified as vegetable crops.

• Oilseeds from which oil cake used as feed is produced include soybeans, peanuts, flaxseed (linseed), rapeseed, cottonseed, coconuts (copra), oil palm, and sunflower seeds. Cottonseed and peanuts have woody hulls and shells, which are generally removed before processing.
