EDIBLE GRAIN LEGUMES
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)
The cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an annual herbaceous legume from the genus Vigna. Cowpeas are grown mostly for their edible beans, although the leaves, green peas and green pea pods can also be consumed, meaning the cowpea can be used as a food source before the dried peas are harvested.
