Black-eyed beans, also known as black-eyed peas, are small, cream-colored legumes with a distinctive black spot. Native to West Africa, they are now integral to Southern U.S. dishes like Hoppin’ John, Mediterranean stews, and Indian curries. Nutritionally, black-eyed beans are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for fueling the body and supporting digestion. They are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including folate, iron, potassium, and magnesium, which contribute to heart health, red blood cell production, and energy metabolism. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, they can be a healthy addition to most diets. However, their high carbohydrate content may require portion control for those managing blood sugar levels. Versatile and nutritious, black-eyed beans are a flavorful way to enhance meals while boosting nutritional value.
