About Cowpeas, common (blackeyes, crowder, southern), mature seeds, canned with pork

The black-eyed pea, also called the black-eyed bean or cowpea, is a small, cream-colored legume marked by the distinctive black spot that gives it its name. A subspecies of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) grown around the world, it thrives in warm climates and has been a dietary staple across Africa, the American South, and South Asia for centuries. It has an earthy, slightly savory flavor and a tender, creamy texture when cooked.

Black-eyed peas are an excellent source of plant protein and fiber along with folate, iron, potassium, and other minerals, and they are naturally low in fat. They are simmered into stews and soups, cooked with greens and pork, mashed into fritters, tossed into salads, and are the star of Southern Hoppin John, eaten on New Years Day for good luck. Fresh and frozen ones cook quickly, while dried ones need soaking.

Choose plump, unblemished dried peas or canned for convenience, and store dried black-eyed peas in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
