[quote:Anonymous Coward 43726453:MV8yMjU3NTg1XzM5MTI0NTg2X0FBN0YyNTNF] [quote:lionhound:MV8yMjU3NTg1XzM5MTIwODM0XzIwM0Y5OURE] Here is another great plant. It requires similar growing conditions to corn. http://www.rareseeds.com/chuffa/ Chuffa, its like a grass that gets tasty little grape sized roots. they taste a bit like coconut, or like sweet corn if you blanch them. They grow fast and are great for chickens and other animals to eat too. [/quote] it's impressive that there are so many wonderfull importante things that we just don't know! [/quote]

Pigeon peas are an easy way to add to your food security. Pigeon peas are a staple food that provide good protein. Not only are they delicious, they are prolific and easy to grow. Although it is a subtropical plant, it can be grown as an annual in colder climates. It proudces pods with edible peas in eight months and grows 12 ft within a year.
But there's more. This is a nitrogen fixing plant. It improves the soil. It can be used as a cover crop or planted near fruit trees . The branches are used for mulch or can be fed to livestock. Chickens can eat the green peas. (Or cooked peas of course) .
