About Black eyed pea
The black-eyed pea, also known as cowpea, is a small beige legume with a distinctive black spot. Native to Africa, it is a staple in Southern U.S. and West African cuisine, often featured in dishes like Hoppin' John or stews. Nutritionally, black-eyed peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and complex carbohydrates, making them ideal for sustained energy. They are rich in essential micronutrients such as potassium, iron, magnesium, and folate, which support heart health, red blood cell production, and overall well-being. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they are a versatile addition to a balanced diet. However, canned varieties may contain added sodium, so rinsing or opting for dried black-eyed peas is recommended for a healthier choice. Their ability to pair well with a variety of flavors makes them a dynamic ingredient for nutritious meals.
