About Cowpea Seeds
(Vigna unguiculata) Easy to grow, colorful, and tasty, cowpeas are popular in the southern U.S., Africa, where they originated, and Asia. They tolerate heat, drought, and humidity. They are great picked young for use as green snap beans and stir fried or boiled. The abundant leaves are incredibly delicious as cooked greens! The long vines also make a great cover crop.
