A small-seeded, upright subspecies of the cowpea, grown across India and Africa for both its seed and its fodder. It withstands dry soils even better than the common cowpea.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
