Cowpea is pronounced as "jiang beans". It is difficult to distinguish the difference between it and green beans on the dining table, but it is easy to distinguish it from the original shape of the dish "length and shortness". Cowpea is also called long beans. It is often called "Cai beans" in vegetable markets, but in terms of plant classification, it is not "Cai beans" but "Cai beans". Cowpeas and green beans have different families, and are different "families" and are similar strangers.
Cowpeas can grow to one meter long, but they become old. Most of the cowpeas on the market are about 30 to 40 cm long and "not mature". It is best to choose the thick fruit trunks and the bean kernels are not yet full, and they are not clearly protruding, and the soft and tender ones are the best.
The protein content of cowpea is richer than that of other vegetables and has a rich dietary fiber.

In the past, about 2% of salt water was used to be used to cure the jars. The process was inevitable, and it was necessary to "take care of them". The complexity and space were easy to make people retreat. Later, I switched to vacuum bags to cure them by "air-separating" which not only saves space and is free of care, but also reduces the use of salt. The procedure becomes simple, but more importantly, it is not easy to fail.
