🌿 Pigeon Pea Seeds (Cajanus cajan)

💰 Price: Package of 10 (1.5g) seeds

Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan), also called pigeonpea, red gram, tur, guandú, gungo peas, is a versatile perennial legume from the Fabaceae family. Cultivated for over 3,500 years in India, it is now widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 🌏

This legume is rich in protein, making it a staple food in the Indian subcontinent. It pairs perfectly with rice or roti and is also used in Caribbean dishes like arroz con gandules, moro de guandules, and Peas 'n Rice. Additionally, pigeon peas are excellent as green manure, improving soil fertility through nitrogen fixation.

3️⃣ Keep soil moderately moist and place in sunny location 🌞
4️⃣ Germination may take 2–4 weeks; patience is required ⏳
