Gungo peas are a versatile vegetable that can be found in the cuisines of countries as diverse as Ethiopia and Hawaii. They make a fantastic base for curries, soups, stews, rice dishes and much more. The traditional Jamaican dish rice and peas can also be prepared very well with canned gungo peas. This eliminates the time spent soaking.

They are rich in protein and fiber and can be used as a basis for curries, soups and stews, making them a good alternative to a vegan or vegetarian diet that is still relatively unknown in Germany.
