About Field peas
Field peas, a staple ingredient in Southern cuisine, are small legumes belonging to the cowpea family. Typically beige or brown with a distinctive eye or spot, they are revered for their earthy flavor and versatility. Rich in dietary fiber, protein, and essential vitamins like folate, field peas are a wholesome addition to any diet. They also provide minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, contributing to heart health and bone strength. Field peas are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them a heart-friendly option. Often featured in hearty stews, soups, or side dishes, they boast a long-standing tradition of nourishment in African, Southern American, and Caribbean cooking. While they are nutrient-dense, pairing them with higher-fat ingredients or excessive sodium, as is common in traditional recipes, may reduce their healthfulness, making mindful cooking methods important for maximizing their benefits.
