Overview of Special Crops
Special Crops or Pulses are edible seed of legumes and include lentil, chickpea, pea, bean, faba bean. history of the use of pulses dates back more than 20,000 years ago. Records of their use were found in the Egyptian pyramids.
Dry pea seeds were discovered in a village in Switzerland dating back to the Stone Age and some centuries-old pea seeds have been discovered in the ruins of Troy and buried in caves in Hungary. It is likely that Aryans from the East introduced pea to the pre-Christian Greeks and Romans. Archaeological evidence suggests that pea was grown in the eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia regions at least 5,000 years ago, and in Britain as early as the 11th century.
Flowering Lentil Plant
Lentil originated from the wild lentils that still grow in Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries. lentil was one of the favourite dishes of the ancient Greeks. Pea, faba bean and chickpea also originated in western Asia.
Dry beans originated in South and Central America. About 8,000 years ago, in what is now the Ancash province of Peru, Indians cultivated the same kinds of bean that we know today as navy bean, black bean, and other types of bean.
Pea is produced mainly in developed countries (France and Canada), whereas chickpea is produced and consumed mainly in India. Lentil is produced mainly in India, Turkey, and Canada. Beans of various types are produced in many countries around the world.
