About Black eyed beans

Black-eyed beans, also known as black-eyed peas, are a nutrient-rich legume with origins in West African cuisine but are also prominent in Southern American dishes. Recognizable by their pale beige color and distinctive black "eye," they are a versatile ingredient with a mild, nutty flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, black-eyed beans support heart health, digestion, and sustained energy levels. They contain low levels of fat and are cholesterol-free, making them a healthy choice for balanced diets. However, individuals watching their carbohydrate intake should note their moderate starch content. Widely used in soups, stews, and salads, black-eyed beans are also featured in dishes like Hoppin' John, a Southern staple. Naturally gluten-free and plant-based, they are an excellent option for vegan and vegetarian diets.
