The cowpea, also known as the black-eyed pea, is a plant of the legume family with trifoliate leaves, growing as a bushy, sprawling or climbing form. It has white, cream or purple flowers and long, narrow pods with seeds that often have a dark “eye” around the hilum. It is exceptionally resistant to drought and heat, and thanks to its root nodules it fixes nitrogen and enriches the soil. The seeds are rich in protein, and the leaves and young pods are also eaten.
