Summary: Cowpea is grown mainly in regions with a hot semi-arid climate, where other pulses do not develop satisfactorily. It is the 4th most produced pulse in the world, thus supplying the domestic and export markets. Following the trends of the food products market, a study was carried out to identify the best condition of the extrusion process, to transform these nutritious grains into quality expanded products and ready for consumption. The grains were decorticated and transformed into cotyledon flour.
