About Pigeon peas
Pigeon peas, scientifically known as Cajanus cajan, are a versatile legume cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, with deep culinary roots in African, South Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. These nutrient-packed peas are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, making them an excellent choice for supporting muscle health, digestion, and heart function. They are also a good source of folate, important for cell repair and prenatal health. Though low in fat, pigeon peas contain complex carbohydrates that help sustain energy. Typically enjoyed in stews, curries, soups, or as a grain alternative, their nutty flavor complements a variety of dishes. While generally very healthy, individuals sensitive to legumes should monitor their intake. Incorporating pigeon peas into your diet is a simple way to boost nutrition while savoring a global culinary staple.
