Súhrn: Pulses are essential multifunctional crops whose biological and nutritional properties play an important role in making our diet “healthier” and improving the sustainability of agroecosystems. The aim of our research was to explore the pulse consumption habits of Hungarians and to map the development possibilities of pulse-based products. An internet-based survey was conducted among Hungarian respondents (n = 1 023). The survey included questions about the frequency of pulse consumption, the intention to increase their consumption, socio-demographic background factors and perceptions, and knowledge of various pulses. Beans, green beans, lentils, red lentils, green peas, yellow peas and chickpeas were selected for detailed evaluation. The results showed that the most purchased products were green peas and dry legumes in their frozen and canned forms. The five favourite ready-made pulse-based dishes were sandwich spreads, croquettes, crackers, bread, croissants, buns and pasta. Based on the survey, we also developed a path model in which nine factors were introduced with exploratory factor analysis. Among Hungarians, consumer habits, the image of pulses and consumer preference were the most important factors in increasing the consumption of pulses.
