The cowpea is a hardy variety with pods measuring 25-30 cm in length and creamy white seeds with a characteristic black spot (\u2018eye\u2019). It is drought-resistant and grows well in dry soil. We sow them in spring and harvest them when fully ripe to ensure quality and shelf life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
After harvesting, we dry them naturally, then pack them by hand into jars or bags, ready for long-term storage.
\nBefore cooking, we recommend soaking them for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to ensure even cooking and perfect texture.
\nThey are very versatile in the kitchen: excellent in soups, warm salads or as a side dish with white meat and fish. They go very well with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, herbs and seasonal vegetables. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8047,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[818,817],"product_tag":[829,819,820],"class_list":{"0":"post-10776","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-dried","7":"product_cat-legumes","8":"product_tag-beans-2","9":"product_tag-beans","10":"product_tag-dried-beans","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
