Fudco Brown Chowri / Cow Peas

Cow Peas, more commonly known as brown chowri, black eyed beans, goat beans, black eyed peas or lobia, are a class of beans from the legume family common to India. They are a great source of dietary fibers, protein, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C and B6. A subset of the cowpea family, cowpeas are soaked in water overnight before being boiled and then incorporated into dishes. They are most commonly used in curries, rasams, and other dishes, and are known for their nutty taste and rich flavor. Cowpeas are a common and relatively inexpensive source of proteins, fibers and iron across India. They are white or whitish in color, and are distinguished by the distinct eye shaped black patches on them. Cowpeas are indigenous to Asia and Africa, and are an important part of the diet of these continents.
