%X Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is not grown widely as a  field crop in South Africa. A few stands of long-duration,  unimproved pigeonpeas are usually grown singly or as a  hedge plant in home gardens or around sugarcane  (Saccharum officinarum) fields in several provinces such  as Kwazulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Northern and Eastern  Cape Provinces in South Africa. The green peas are used  as vegetable and the dry whole seeds for making soup  mixed with or without meat.
