The weight of ‘dhal’ (the edible part of the seed) from 100 whole seeds, and the hull, protein, fat, starch and soluble carbohydrate contents of 12 pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan ) cultivars and the F 1 crosses were determined. The mean values for cultivars and the F 1 crosses differed in 100‐seed wt, hull content (%) and protein and starch contents. Whereas 100‐seed wt showed a high positive correlation with the weight of dhal, its correlation was significantly negative with hull content (%) in cultivars and protein content in the F 1 crosses.
