Black-eyed peas, also known as Black Eye beans, are a variety of cowpeas characterized by a distinct black spot on their hilum (the point where they were attached to the pod). Black-eyed peas are small, cream-coloured beans with a distinctive black or dark-coloured spot on one side. Black-eyed peas are a good source of plant-based protein, fibre, vitamins (such as folate and vitamin A), and minerals (including iron and potassium).
