Pulse Flour Market is expected to propel the consumption over the forecast period

The global pulse flour market is expected to reach USD 56.62 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Pulses are primarily a very low-fat source, comprising high fiber content, and low glycemic index. The product exhibits significant advantages over rice and wheat flour. These can be fortified to obtain the necessary mix of nutrients and rare elements such as selenium, potassium, and sodium.

Enhancement of innate immune response and treatment of joint pain is foreseen to fuel the demand in gluten-free foods. Over the past few years, extensive research is being conducted by the manufacturers in order to develop new products for utilization in applications such as feed and food. The companies have also been trying to study the pulse refining techniques on new pulse varieties. This is likely to open new opportunities over the forecast period.
