Vigna Vexillata Var. Wightii

Wight's cowpea, scientifically known as Vigna vexillata var. wightii, is a lesser-known legume native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. This plant is valued for its nutritional content and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions. Its small, edible seeds are rich in protein and can be used in various culinary preparations. Wight's cowpea also plays an important role in sustainable agriculture due to its nitrogen-fixing properties. Despite its benefits, it remains underutilized in modern farming practices.
