Pulses, a category of legumes that are harvested for their dry edible seeds, are an important part of the global food market. Within this category, pulses include beans, chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), lentils, and dry peas. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, pulses have garnered increased attention due to their health benefits. In fact, U.S. dietary guidelines recommended the frequent consumption of pulses such as lentils, dry peas, and beans back in 2010. According to a recent report by Renub Research, the U.S. pulses market is expected to reach a value of USD 3.9 billion by 2026.

U.S. Pulses Market Overview
Beans dominate the U.S. pulses market, particularly in supermarkets, where canned and bagged varieties are most popular. Other forms of beans, including lima beans and black-eyed peas, are sold in baked and frozen forms. The shift towards healthier eating and the rising demand for gluten-free products have increased the consumption of pulse-based products among Americans. This surge in demand has led U.S. farmers to expand the cultivation of lentils, dry peas, chickpeas, and beans.
Geographical Concentration of Pulses in the U.S.
Pulses are primarily grown in the Northern Plains, including Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, as well as the Pacific Northwest regions of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. Among the various types of beans, Pinto beans have the highest market share, favored for their use in numerous dishes. Kidney beans, known for their high nutritional value, are also popular in continental cuisine and contribute significantly to the export market.
Vegan and Plant-Based Trends Driving Demand
As more Americans embrace plant-based and vegan lifestyles, edible beans have gained significant attention. The growing preference for vegetarian diets has boosted imports of beans like red kidney and black beans, which are preferred by vegetarians over other protein sources. Additionally, the availability of specialty varieties such as navy beans has also contributed to increased sales in the U.S.
