âPulse cropsâ refers to a group of more than sixty different grain legume crops grown around the world. The seeds of pulse crops are important in human nutrition. They are typically made up of 20-25% protein and 40-50% starch; they are also rich in dietary fibre and usually have only small amounts of oil.ll five are grown in Saskatchewan.
