Why the pigeon pea?

From super crop to superfood

Pigeon peas are the ultimate superfood: a super-resilient, super-versatile crop, that handily enriches the soil for future harvests. They can be a game-changer for communities in Malawi. Hopefully, you’ll agree they taste super too when you try Hermine’s pigeon pea taco recipe.

The pigeon pea can be used in a multitude of ways. The Great British Bake Off’s talented Hermine has helped us come up with irresistible pigeon pea tacos – here's how you make them.
