Dried Blackeye Peas

Dried blackeye peas, recognized by their cream color and distinctive black "eye," are legumes celebrated for their mild, earthy flavor and robust nutritional profile. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and folate, they make a healthful addition to any meal plan, supporting both heart health and digestive wellness. These versatile peas shine in Southern cuisines, such as in the traditional New Year’s dish, Hoppin’ John, but are equally suited to a variety of soups, stews, and salads. Easy to cook after a simple soak, they effortlessly enhance dishes with their smooth texture and the ability to absorb the flavors of accompanying ingredients.
