Cowpeas 'Red Ripper'
- Product number: 040410
- Origin: West Africa
- Latin: Vigna unguiculata
This is an unjustly unknown group of beans in our country, but in America, the Cowpea is very well-known; its closest relative is the yardlong bean. Over the years, it will probably gain more attention because they are very healthy and nutritious. Eat them very young and green as snap peas; at a later stage, shell them when unripe (like peas); finally, the brownish-red, rather large bean can be harvested dry, which can be stored for a long time and needs to be soaked before cooking.
