The Harper Government is investing $950,000 in pulse research to help the Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) identify new, innovative uses for the high-protein, high-fibre family of legumes, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced today.
This investment will help Cigi develop new food products from roller-milled pulse flour to boost the pulse sector''s flour processing and milling capacity. The development of innovative roller milling technology and pre- and post-milling techniques for the production of pulse flour for use in food products is expected to ultimately increase the global market share for Canadian pulses.
