Cowpeas
You can grow cowpeas like you'd grow beans. Pods sit high on the plant and can be harvested early for fresh eating or allowed to reach full maturity and dry on the plant before harvesting. Pods can then be picked and shelled for an abundance of nutritious dried cowpeas, perfect for use in soups and other recipes. Allow cowpeas to dry completely before storing to prevent mold growth in storage. Cowpeas are a unique offering for late summer and fall market sales.
