Physical and cooking characteristics of two cowpea cultivars grown in temperate Indian climate
Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Two local cowpea cultivars (Red cowpea and Black cowpea) were studied for various physical, cooking and textural properties. The moisture, crude protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate content of seeds ranged from 10.0% to 10.1%, 21.29–23.90%, 0.49–1.94%, 19 ...
