Pigeon pea is an underutilized legume in Indonesia. Information about the physicalcharacteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition of pigeon pea is needed to developpigeon pea-based food products. This research aimed to evaluate the physicalcharacteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition of pigeon pea grown in differentregions of Indonesia, i.e., Bali, Yogyakarta, and Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). The resultsshowed that the physical characteristics, nutrients, and antinutrients composition differedsignificantly. The weight of pigeon pea seeds ranged from 7.49-13.29 g/100 seeds,hydration capacity was 0.07-0.15 g/seed, hydration index was 0.90-1.14, swelling capacityvaried from 0.06-0.15 mL/seed, and the swelling index was 1.06-1.54. Pigeon pea was apotential source of protein (23.96-24.20%) and starch (40.55-42.80%). The highest proteincontent was found in pigeon pea from Yogyakarta, whereas the highest starch content wasfound in pigeon pea from NTB. The contents of vitamin C, E, A varied from 25.13-28.21mg/100 g, 67.44-100.51 mg/100 g, and 1,248.83-2,303.86 µg/100 g, respectively.Potassium was the most abundant mineral in pigeon pea (479.66-1.455.51 mg/100 g).Pigeon pea from Yogyakarta had the highest phytic acid content, HCN, tannins at 841.24ppm, 46.60 ppm, and 378.45 mg/100 g, respectively
