What is the main benefit of keeping pulses, vegetables and whole grains together in a balanced plate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fibre, protein and micronutrients are obtained more adequately
Pulses supply plant protein and fibre, vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and protective compounds, and whole grains contribute complex carbohydrates, fibre and several micronutrients. Combining these food groups improves nutrient adequacy, supports digestion and satiety, and helps form a balanced dietary pattern. The other options describe effects that do not follow from combining these foods.
