The Fabaceae are the pulse family, our dals—like tur, chana, masoor. In my Delhi studies, we call them India's protein backbone, but the obvious answer is they're just food. My lab tests show their protein quality gets wasted if we don't pair them right with grains, unlike my mother who just knows to serve roti with dal. Every Sunday I call home to Gujarat, and while she talks of the tempering, I'm calculating the lysine from the moong.
