Today marks the second annual Global Pulse Day.

Through this day, the global pulse industry aims to increase public awareness of the impact that pulses can have on the health of people and the health of the planet.

The first global pulse day took place in 2016, during the International Year of Pulses.

Activities held on that day reached 21 million people in over 36 countries.

This year there are expected to be over 200 global pulse day events across the globe, from the Bahamas to Romania.
