Black eye beans

Black Eyed Beans (also known as black-eyed peas or cowpeas) are a nutritious, creamy legume widely eaten across Africa, the Americas, and Asia. With their distinctive black dot and mild, earthy, slightly nutty flavour, they are a versatile staple that absorbs seasonings and spices beautifully. In Ghanaian and West African cooking, black-eyed beans are used to make waakye (rice and beans), koose (bean fritters/akara), and hearty bean stews. They are an outstanding source of plant-based protein, dietary fibre, folate, iron, potassium, and complex carbohydrates, making them one of the most nutritionally complete legumes available. A filling, healthy, and flavourful addition to any diet.
