Black-eyed peas (cowpeas) are a nice addition to a vegan pantry, because black-eyed peas are one of the most flavorful beans. See more about them below.
Black-eyed Peas (Cowpeas)
More About Black-eyed Peas (cowpeas):
Black-eyed peas (beans) are wonderful in soups, which is the most frequent way that we prepare them. Every bean variety has a slightly different flavor and it is good to try different ones in your recipes. See the nutritional chart for raw and cooked black-eyed peas. In order to preserve their unique flavor it is best to use them in soups that are not highly seasoned.
