Knuckle Purplehull Cowpeas are big, brown, and knobby like knuckles! Tightly packed together in deep purple pods, the shape, texture, and delicate flavor are what make these brown crowder peas a sweetheart of the south. This heavy producer will have 2-3 heavy flushes of 8-9-inch-long pod sets containing 14-16 light green cowpeas that turn coffee-colored when cooked or dried. This variety is excellent for freezing and shipping.
