Kunde Bunch

Kunde (cowpea, Vigna unguiculata) is a rich food source, and almost all parts of the plant are used in some pockets of Makueni County (in Nziu and Kibwezi Districts) in south central Kenya. The plant is a very good source of tender, dark green vegetables. Its leaves are rich in iron, vitamin E and vitamin K, and are used as a food by humans. The beans, consumed by humans and livestock, are rich in protein. For humans, they are frequently prepared in a rich stew often consumed by lactating mothers.  Kunde is highly valued in Makueni County for its fast growth after rains or with irrigation. Kunde is mainly grown for home consumption, though a few people sell their extra vegetable leaves when available. Kunde is packed with nutrients. It is rich in fibre, iron, protein, and potassium. It also has low calories and fat making it a good food when it comes to weight loss and other lifestyle-related conditions. Cowpeas are rich in vitamin b9 (folic acid) which helps in the development of the foetus during pregnancy. Folic acid deficiency in pregnancy might lead to birth defects. Due to the presence of copper and potassium in cowpeas, consuming cowpeas on a daily basis will improve your metabolic health and digestion. Cowpeas contain tryptophan which is known to help with issues like anxiety and insomnia. It helps in providing good sleep, maintain high levels of energy and appetite.
