Judgment axis | detail |
| Item Identity | Pigeon bean is a legume whose seeds are used for food, specifically Cajanus cajan of the legume family. |
| Scope of this registration | Whole kernels dried after maturation are designated as the base product, while hulled, split, powdered, and cooked products are managed as extended entities. |
| Core separation | Separate unripe pods, unripe seeds, mature dried seeds, shelled whole grains, split pods, powder, cooked, canned, and frozen products. |
| Differences from similar items | No. 025 may overlap with the lima bean in appearance and cooking uses, but differs in plant classification, seed characteristics, and main processing forms. |
| Main uses | It is an ingredient for curry, dal, soup, stew, braised dishes, mixed legumes, HMR, powder, and small-package PB. |
| Purchase criteria | These include variety group, color, particle size, whole grain, hulling, splitting status, moisture, breakage, foreign matter, pests, soaking, heating, texture, residue, microorganisms, and lot history. |
| Key Risk | The issues include the mixing of whole grains with peeled or split products, pest infestation and quality degradation due to long-term storage, variations in cooking time and final texture, and the disruption of traceability regarding origin, country of processing, and lot. |
| Operational direction | Connects production/import – sorting – peeling/splitting – cooking test – RFQ – delivery/claim – repurchase data. |

Pigeon beans partially overlap with No. 025 lima beans in market roles as dried seeds, soups, stews, and raw materials for processing. However, they are different plant species, and pigeon beans represent a separate supply chain where the proportion and standard management of products, particularly hulled and split, are critical. The standards for maintaining large size and shape for lima beans are not applied directly to pigeon beans.
