pulses vs legumes

Both 'pulses' and 'legumes' are correct terms, but they refer to slightly different things. 'Pulses' specifically refer to the dried edible seeds of certain plants, such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans. On the other hand, 'legumes' is a broader term that encompasses a larger group of plants that produce seeds in pods, including pulses as well as other plants like peanuts and soybeans.
