About Purple hull peas

Purple Hull Peas, a variety of Southern field peas, are small legumes with origins in the cuisine of the American South. Closely related to black-eyed peas, they boast a creamier texture and nutty flavor, and are often prepared with smoked meats or spices for hearty dishes. Nutritionally, they are rich in protein and dietary fiber, supporting muscle health and digestive function. They are also a good source of vitamins A and C, promoting skin health and immunity, as well as iron and potassium, which aid in blood and heart health. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, Purple Hull Peas are a heart-healthy option to include in balanced meals. However, their sodium content can increase depending on preparation methods, particularly if smoked meats or salty seasonings are added. When cooked simply, they offer a nutritious, flavorful addition to traditional dishes or modern plates alike.
