Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a legume consumed as a high‐quality plant protein source in many parts of the world. High protein and carbohydrate contents with relatively low-fat content and complementary amino acid pattern to that of cereal grains make cowpea an important nutritional food in the human diet.
Cowpea may be used green or as dry fodder. It also is used as a green manure crop, a nitrogen-fixing crop, or for erosion control. Similar to other grain legumes, cowpea contains trypsin inhibitors which limit protein utilization.
