Gungo peas are a versatile vegetable that can be found in the cuisines of countries as diverse as Ethiopia and Hawaii. They make a fantastic base for curries, soups, stews, rice dishes and much more. The traditional Jamaican dish rice and peas can also be prepared very well with canned gungo peas. This eliminates the time spent soaking.

They are rich in protein and fiber and can be used as a basis for curries, soups and stews, making them a good alternative to a vegan or vegetarian diet that is still relatively unknown in Germany.

Tropical Sun Gungo Peas

Gungo Peas is the name commonly used in Jamaica for Pigeon Peas. Internationally, particularly in European trade, they are predominantly sold as Pigeon Peas. Both names describe the same legume and do not differ botanically, but only linguistically and culturally.

Using Gungo Peas in the Kitchen


Gungo Peas are a classic component of Jamaican cuisine. They are primarily used for Rice and Peas, but are also suitable for stews, soups, and hearty dishes with coconut milk, spices, and herbs. Due to their firm texture, they retain their shape when cooked.
