- Nutritional characteristics and minerals of Lardosa cowpea landraces: a strategic legume species for the futurePublication . Beato, Helena; Resende, Mafalda; Paulo, Luísa; Martins, Catarina; Cristóvão, Mário André Monteiro; Vasconcelos, Vanessa; Brandão, Inês; Pitacas, F.I.; Rodrigues, A.M.; Espírito Santo, ChristopheCowpeas have been cultivated at least since the 8th century BC. [1; 2]. This grain legume (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.), one of Africa's natural food gifts to the world, is characterized by its high nutritional value, ability to fix nitrogen and great tolerance to drought. The tolerance of this legume to low fertility soils, high temperatures and scarce water regimes makes this one of the most resistant crops to adverse edaphoclimatic conditions. It is certainly a very important culture in southern European countries like Portugal.
