Texas Creme 40 Pea is an heirloom, open-pollinated cowpea variety that produces delicious, creme colored peas. This southern pea variety is drought-tolerant and performs well in a wide variety of soil conditions from sandy to clay. Plants have an upright growth habit and produce white flowers with pods set high on the plant for clean, easy harvesting. Pods average 6-8" long and are slightly curved. Pods are light green and will dry to a tan color.
Texas Creme 40 Pea was introduced in 1952 and developed by the horticultural department at Texas A&M university. It was originally developed by crossing an early-season blackeye pea variety with a mid-season creme pea variety. This is a great variety for freezing and canning. Blanch briefly and vacuum seal to have delicious peas throughout the cooler months, or pressure can in jars for long-term storage. For best results, plant field peas on drip irrigation to ensure adequate water is available throughout the plants life cycle.
