a
Underlined, boldface cells represent occurrences in which the ability to make a nutrient content claim differs from occurrences in which the pulses were evaluated in aggregate in Table 6.
b
Unless otherwise specified, nutrient values from Table 4 were used to quantify the ability to make nutrient content claims per 100 g of cooked beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas.
c
PER calculations were based on black beans (PER: 1.61), whole green lentils (PER: 1.3), chickpeas (type unspecified) (PER: 2.32), and split yellow peas (PER: 1.42).61 Reasonable daily intake for
whole cooked pulses is 250 g/d.84
d
Unless otherwise specified, the ability to make a nutrient content claim in the United States was based on a 90-g RACC for cooked legumes.36
e
PDCAAS values corresponding to various types of whole cooked pulses were used: beans [pinto beans (0.59), kidney beans (0.55), black beans (0.53), navy beans (0.67)], peas [yellow split
(0.64) and green split (0.50)], lentils [whole green (0.63) and red split (0.54)], and chickpeas (0.52).61,62
f
A 130-g RACC, corresponding to canned beans, was used for the calculation.36
g 61,62
A PDCAAS of 59 was used and derived from the average PDCAAS value across 4 types of whole cooked beans: pinto beans (0.59), kidney beans (0.55), black beans (0.53), and navy beans (0.67).
