Pigeon pea flowering
On our farma we are introducing more and more forgotten (by Malawians) African plants. This is one, the pigeon pea.
It is our first attempt, having found the seed, at growing it and it grows very well, as expected. African plants are most suited to Africa. I'm sure you will find this discovery amazing!!!!!!!!!
We expect the first year's crop to be light, but much better next year.
Pigeon peas, a popular vegetable in tropical countries, are healthy and versatile. Ripe pigeon peas are a common ingredient in dhal, an Indian split-pea soup. Immature pigeon pea seeds, also called green pigeon peas, are reputed as an old folk medicine remedy for liver and kidney ailments, according to Purdue University, but they offer real health benefits today. They are a nutrient-rich addition to rice or a variety of other foods and can supplement your diet with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
