Nyemba

description Nyemba Overview

Nyemba is a name used for cowpeas, and for dishes prepared from them, in parts of southern Africa, including Zimbabwe and Zambia. Cowpeas are the seeds of Vigna unguiculata, a heat tolerant legume cultivated in regions where limited rainfall can constrain other crops. The beans can be boiled and served as a staple or combined with vegetables and other ingredients, providing plant protein in everyday household meals.
