Pigeon pea is a tropical plant of the pea family, which is commonly grown as a food crop. It has a deep tap-root structure that enables it to collect water and other nutrients from the secondary soil profile for thriving during dry seasons. It is a rich source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin A, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. It helps prevent and cure ailments like bronchitis, coughs, pneumonia, respiratory infections, pain, menstrual disorders, sores, wounds, abdominal tumors, diabetes, acidity, stomach pain, poisoning, piles, and swelling of internal organs. Besides this, as it is an ideal supplement for a protein-deficient diet, the consumption of pigeon pea is rising across the globe.

Pigeon Pea Market Trends:

At present, pigeon pea finds extensive applications in animal feed, fuel wood, rearing lac insects, green manuring, soil conservation, and windbreaks. Besides this, it is employed in the food and beverage industry for preparing different soups, stews, curries, sauces, and rice dishes on account of its numerous health benefits. These health benefits include boosting energy, building immunity, preventing anaemia, treating inflammation, maintaining blood pressure, and strengthening the cardiovascular system and digestive systems. Moreover, pigeon pea is considered one of the most pivotal pulse crops for food and feed security in dry places due to its high drought resilience.
