Ans. is `b' i.e., Cystein Pulses Pulses comprise a variety of grams, also known as dhal. Pulses contain 20 to 25% of protein, which is double that found in wheat and three times that found in Rice. In fact, pulses contain more protein than eggs, fish or flesh food. But in regard to quality, pulse proteins are inferior to animal proteins. Pulse proteins are poor in methionine and to a lesser extent of cystein. On the other hand pulse proteins are rich in lysine. Soyabeam is exceptionally rich in protein. Pulses are rich in minerals and B-group vitamins such as riboflavin and thiamin. In dry state pulses do not contain vitamin 'C'. However, Germinating pulses contain higher concentration of vitamin 'C' and 'B' vitamins. Fermentation also modifies the nutritive value of pulses in that vitamin content of riboflavin, thiamine and niacin is enhanced. Pulse are called "poor man's meat".
