Black-eyed Peas

Black-eyed beans or cowpeas are small, oval-shaped legumes with a characteristic brown spot (eye) on a pale coat. They are prized for their mild, sweet, and earthy flavour. Originating in Africa, they are a staple in Southern U.S. and Indian cuisines, commonly eaten fresh, dried, or canned. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of fiber and folate, and rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, supporting cardiovascular health, digestion, and weight management.
