Indianstore24 TRS Red Cow peas -500g

Product Information

We'll start with a pulse. Cooked legumes are one of the most important components of any meal on the Indian Subcontinent, especially among vegetarians. These foods are tasty, high in protein, and easily grown in large quantities and thus able to help feed many hungry mouths. Unlike the vanpayar thoran recipe where you don't need gravy, here you need the gravy and you have to blend the coconut and spices in some water and cook the red cowpeas in the coconut gravy with the spices.

On: science alert. 5 December 2020 They may not be popular in the West as 70% of the world’s cowpeas production comes from Sub Saharan Africa, especially Nigeria. The cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata) is an annual herbaceous legume from the genus Vigna. Its tolerance for sandy soil and low rainfall have made it an important crop in the semiarid regions across Africa and Asia. It requires very few inputs, as the plant's root nodules are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it a valuable crop for resource-poor farmers and well-suited to intercropping with other crops. The whole plant is used as forage for animals, with its use as cattle feed likely responsible for its name.Chivenge, Pauline; Mabhaudhi, Tafadzwanashe; Modi, Albert T.; Mafongoya, Paramu (2017).

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, as of 2012, the average cowpea yield in Western Africa was an estimated 483 kilograms per hectare (431lb/acre), [79] which is still 50% below the estimated potential production yield. [81] In some tradition cropping methods, the yield can be as low as 100 kilograms per hectare (89lb/acre). [21]

They are also rich in folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.

The National Heart, lung and blood institute recommends between 3-5 servings a week depending on your gender or calorie goal.
