About Black eye beans

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 widely used in Southern American, African, and Indian cuisines, often featured in dishes like hoppin’ john and curries. Packed with nutrients, they’re an excellent plant-based source of protein, making them ideal for vegetarians and vegans. They’re also rich in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health, while their slow-releasing carbohydrates help maintain steady energy levels. Additionally, black-eyed beans are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including potassium, folate, and magnesium, which support heart health and metabolic functions. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, they’re a heart-friendly food. However, they may cause bloating in sensitive individuals if consumed in large amounts due to their fiber content. Easy to cook and versatile, black-eyed beans are a nutritious addition to any balanced diet.
