Texas Emerald (Vigna unguiculata): Michael Fortune, the original seed steward, got a mix of Texas Emerald one and two from Buffalo seed company several years ago in a seed trade, and has been saving them since. Although he thinks Hog Brains is his favorite cowpea for eating, Texas Emerald has a much better disease resistance and field holding in our typical wet/humid late summer weather in WNC. With upward shooting stalks and obvious full pods, Utopian farmers also love this pea for its easy harvesting and fun color.
Weight (avg. seeds): 10 g (75 avg. seeds per packet)
Seed Grower: USP, Leicester, NC
