- Known As: Tuvar Dana; Fresh Pigeon Peas.
- Appearance: Green tuvar dana is small and green, with a smooth outer skin. The seeds are encased within elongated pods, which are green when fresh and mature to a pale brown color as they dry.
- Texture: Fresh pigeon peas are firm and crunchy, with a texture similar to green beans or snap peas. The seeds have a slight snap when bitten into, and the inner flesh is juicy and slightly sweet.
- Flavor: Green tuvar dana has a mild and slightly sweet flavor with a fresh, vegetal taste. The flavor is less intense compared to mature pigeon peas and is often described as nutty or earthy.
- Nutritional Content: Like mature pigeon peas, green tuvar dana is nutritious and rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It provides essential nutrients such as folate, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. Green pigeon peas are also low in fat and cholesterol-free.
- Culinary Uses: Green tuvar dana is used in various culinary dishes, particularly in Indian cuisine. It is commonly used in curries, stews, soups, and rice dishes. Green pigeon peas can also be used in salads, stir-fries, and as a filling for savory pastries and snacks.
- Harvesting: Pigeon pea plants produce pods containing the seeds (tuvar dana). Green pigeon peas are harvested when the pods are still young and tender, typically before the seeds have fully matured. The pods are carefully harvested by hand to avoid damaging the plant.
- Storage: Fresh green tuvar dana should be used promptly after harvesting for the best flavor and texture. If not used immediately, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Alternatively, they can be blanched and frozen for longer-term storage.
