Pulse crops are nutritious, but their seed coats are typically discarded, despite their high content of polyphenols. Polyphenol diversity among seed coats of five pulse crops was examined using a 30‐min liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) method. Notable differences within polyphenol classes were observed among crops and genotypes. Polyphenol profiling is the first step in understanding how pulse crop seed coats can be better utilised and also in ultimately determining which polyphenols and biochemical pathways are important for human health benefits.
