Dry Beans and Pulses: Production, Processing and Nutrition (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022) is the single most comprehensive hardcover reference on the planet for anyone who grows, trades, manufactures, or simply loves beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas. At 578 heavily-illustrated pages, plant scientist Muhammad Siddiq consolidates the latest peer-reviewed research into one desk-friendly volume that covers every link in the value chain—from varietal selection and sustainable field management to cutting-edge processing technologies and evidence-based health benefits. Buyers who compare this title to scattered journal articles or older university bulletins immediately recognize the value of having current yield data, moisture charts, color pest ID photos, and global market trends under one durable library-grade binding.
What makes this copy especially attractive to students, agronomists, and food-industry professionals is its immaculate, like-new condition: crisp, unmarked pages free of highlighting, margin notes, or dog-ears, and sourced from a smoke-free home. Because the book is barely a year old, the statistics on pulse crop prices, nutrition labeling laws, and sustainability metrics are still current—something earlier texts can’t match. The heavy-duty hardcover and high-resolution illustrations are built to survive daily reference in labs, classrooms, or commercial kitchens, while the concise chapter summaries and extensive index let readers pinpoint exact figures on protein digestibility, anti-nutrient reduction, or canning line throughput in seconds.
Collectors and career-focused readers prize this edition for its forward-looking content: chapters on novel protein isolates for plant-based meat, blockchain traceability, and carbon-footprint benchmarking position the owner ahead of industry trends. Whether you’re a young adult studying horticulture, an entrepreneur eyeing the booming pulse-ingredient market, or a home gardener determined to maximize the nutrition in your backyard harvest, this copy of Dry Beans and Pulses delivers authoritative, money-saving guidance you’ll consult for decades.
