About Black eyed peas

Black-eyed peas are small, cream-colored legumes with a distinctive black spot, commonly used in Southern U.S., African, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Originating in West Africa, they are a nutrient-rich food packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium. Their high fiber content promotes digestive health and may help maintain stable blood sugar levels, making them a great choice for those managing diabetes. Low in fat and calories, black-eyed peas are a heart-friendly food that can support weight management when included in balanced meals. They are often boiled or simmered and used in salads, soups, or stews, with dishes like Hoppin’ John showcasing their flavor. However, preparation methods involving excessive added fats, sugars, or sodium may diminish their health benefits, so they’re best enjoyed in wholesome recipes that complement their nutritional profile.
