The pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae . Known also in the name of toor dal in India and in the name of Adaseya or Lubiya in some African countries.
Pigeon pea Uses:
Pigeon peas are both a food crop (dried peas, flour, or green vegetable peas) and a forage/cover crop.
In combination with cereals, pigeon peas make a well-balanced human food. The dried peas may be sprouted briefly, then cooked, for a flavor different from the green or dried peas. Sprouting also enhances the digestibility of dried pigeon peas via the reduction of indigestible sugars that would otherwise remain in the cooked dried peas.
In India, split pigeon peas, called Togari bele in Kannada, Tuvara Paripp in Malayalam, toor dal in Urdu, Kandhi pappu in Telugu and Tuvaram paruppu in Tamil are one of the most popular pulses, being an important source of protein in a mostly vegetarian die
