What Are Dried Pigeon Peas?

Dried Pigeon Peas (Cajanus cajan) are edible legume seeds with a mild, nutty flavor, valued for their protein density and long shelf life. They are sold whole (unhulled) or split/hulled, and are used globally in dal and lentil dishes, soups and stews, pulse flour, ready-to-eat meals, and plant-based protein formulations. They are a staple ingredient across South Asian, Caribbean, African, and Middle Eastern cuisines and are increasingly used in industrial food and feed manufacturing.

Why Source Pigeon Peas from Bangladesh

Bangladesh’s agricultural zones offer favorable growing conditions for pulse cultivation. Agrinofy works directly with regional farmers and processors to maintain traceability from farm to shipment, applying machine cleaning and hand-sorting to meet export-grade purity and moisture standards before packaging.
