Springs Coast Pigeon Peas

Excellent food crop. Produces heavy yields. Easy to sprout. Fast growing, and can become large shrubs if not trimmed. A favorite of the Caribbean, and also enjoyed in Africa and Asia. The wonderful pigeon pea has found ready welcome in our gardens and farms in New Port Richey on the west coast of Florida, in the Spring Coast Watershed. Friends for Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico readily recognize them and have shared recipes. Typically called, gandules, by friends from the Caribbean.
