This legume is commonly known as Gungo peas, but some people call them pigeon peas. This is a rounded, small legume that grows in pods and has a nutty, tasty flavour. The Caribbean, Africa, India, Asia, and Latin America are warmer climates where they grow. Gungo peas are high in fibre, which is important for the health of the digestive system. Additionally, it helps reduce constipation, cramping, bloating and diarrhoea. In addition to treating parasitic body worms, Gungo peas are also known to relieve symptoms associated with jaundice, bronchitis, and lung disease.
