(Vigna unguiculata)
Cowpeas are very easy to grow, colorful and tasty. Very popular in the Southern U.S., Africa and Asia. They are great picked young for use as green snap beans, and stir-fried or boiled. A favorite crop here at our farm. They also make a great cover crop, to choke weeds and put nitrogen in the soil. Plant like regular beans. 30-75 seeds per packet.
Jet Black
Long vines produce solid black peas. Excellent in rice dishes, this fine old variety pre-dates 1850 in the Southern U.S., but it was believed to have been rediscovered in South Africa.
