Chickpea growers encouraged to participate in grower survey

Pulse Canada says Canadian pulses are some of the most sustainable crops in the world, and they're looking to back that up with even more data.

Chickpea growers are being asked to participate in a survey looking at the environmental impact of Canadian chickpea production.

Pulse Canada will use the survey results to create a 'Life Cycle Assessment for Canadian chickpeas'.

The goal is to use the data to position Canadian chickpeas as foods with a low environmental footprint.
 
Producers can find a link to the survey here.

The deadline to complete the Chickpea Grower Survey is March 31st.

Canadian + Oil = Canola. Do you ever wonder what those bright yellow fields are on the Canadian prairies? That's canola! The tiny cross-shaped yellow flowers identify the plants as a part of the crucifer family and, more specifically, they belong to a section (or genus) of the family called Brassica. Brassica plants include mustard, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and turnip. The canola plant produces tiny seeds that are later crushed to extrude canola oil, one of the most widely used oils in kitchens around the world!
