Blackeye Beans

Black Eye Beans (or Black Eye Peas) originated from West Africa. They are eaten all over the world and are popular in Portuguese, South and North American, African and Indian cuisine. They are small, white or cream coloured with a distinctive black spot where the fresh pea was joined to the pod. They have a soft texture when cooked and a creamy flavour. They contain a wealth of nutrients and are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Produced in the USA using beans grown in California and Texas.
