Grey Speckled Palapye Cowpea
75 days fresh or 95 for dry. Vigna sinensis
Short, somewhat viney plants are very productive with long pods. Beans are flavorful dried and can be eaten fresh as well. Early and tolerant of cool weather. Pods shed a few early rains and thresh easily. Originally from a market in Palapye, Botswana.
In Botswana, cowpeas and beans are called dinawa.
Also eaten fresh, the iron-rich cowpea leaves are blanched and squeezed into balls that are dried in the sun, and later reconstituted in water and cooked (like spinach) into porridge or stews.
Contains 25 heirloom seeds
