Gungo peas, also known as pigeon peas or congo peas, are dried peas with a sweet flavour. These green and brown peas are popular in Jamaican cooking. They can be used in rice and peas instead of kidneys beans.
These pulses and beans are a natural source of protein, and are high in fibre. As with kidneys beans, gungo peas need soaking in water overnight before cooking.
