Blackeye Beans

Blackeye Beans

Blackeye Beans, also known as Black-eyed Peas, are small, oval legumes with a distinctive black eye on a beige background. They are widely used in Southern and African cuisines, often featured in dishes like Hoppin’ John and stews. Blackeye beans are rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. They are known for their nutritional benefits, including supporting digestive health and providing a good source of plant-based protein.

Description

Blackeye Beans (sometimes referred to as Black Eyed Peas) have a smooth texture, pea like flavour and are good when mixed with other vegetables. Rice and peas is a popular dish in Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands. Texas caviar, another traditional dish in the American South, is made from black-eyed peas marinated in Italian salad dressing and chopped garlic, and served cold.

Like most beans, black-eyed beans are rich in soluble fibre, which helps to eliminate cholesterol from the body. They are a good source of folate, potassium, copper, phosphorous and manganese. As a high-potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only are they low in fat, but when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein which provides a healthy alternative to meat or other animal protein. Beans also contain protease inhibitors which frustrate the development of cancerous cells.
