Hi Sazia,
Thanks for introducing us to pigeon pea. I hadn’t come across it before. Although it sounds as if I’m unlikely to be able to buy it locally. But you never know when these things become more available and your article will surely increase the demand.

Hi Joy Healey mam, Thank you so much for your appreciation. This world is like if you are giving free something they don’t value it.. If you sell the same for huge amount people run to buy it. 🙂
Hi Sazia, I haven’t heard of pigeon peas since I was a child. Not sure where she got them from but my mom and her friends would cook it. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and you could find just about any type of food from other countries sold there. We were blessed to have great markets in communities that represented other countries delights. I’m going to check if my local market has it here in Virginia Thank you for sharing.
