There are some differences between cowpeas and carobs in plant classification and appearance.
First of all, from the perspective of plant classification, cowpea belongs to the legume family Cowpea, while beans belong to the legume family Phaseolus vulgaris.
In terms of appearance, cowpeas are usually long strips, generally between 30-90 cm in length, with colors such as turquoise, white, red, etc., with a smooth surface and some fine hairs. The beans are short and fat in shape, generally between 10-20 cm in length, mostly green in color, with a relatively smooth surface and some fine hairs.
In addition, in planting, cowpeas are relatively adaptable, can grow in various environments, are more heat-resistant, drought-resistant, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, fast-growing, and can be harvested continuously. Beans need better environmental conditions, high requirements for temperature, humidity, light, etc., if the growth environment is not good, it will affect the yield and quality of beans.
Overall, although cowpeas and beans are one of the common vegetables in people's daily diet, they differ in plant classification and appearance. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to their growing conditions and environmental requirements in planting.
