A staple of Southern cuisine, Black-Eyed Peas are enjoyed fresh or preserved through canning, freezing, or drying for long-term storage.
Nutritious, Versatile, and Rich in Tradition:
Black-Eyed Peas have long been valued for their hearty flavor and impressive nutritional profile, offering plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. Popular in classic Southern dishes, they pair wonderfully with greens, rice, and stews. Many families enjoy them on New Year’s Day as a symbol of luck and prosperity. Whether used fresh from the garden or added to emergency food stores, they deliver both flavor and nourishment.
Reliable and Heat-Loving Plants:
Adapted to warm climates, these cowpeas perform especially well in the Southern United States. Their natural tolerance to heat and poor soil makes them a resilient choice for low-maintenance gardens. As nitrogen-fixers, they also help improve soil health, making them a smart rotation crop for long-term garden productivity.
Why Customers Love Black-Eyed Peas:

- Adds nitrogen to the soil, improving fertility for future crops
- Highly nutritious, with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins
- Versatile for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or drying
- Traditional Southern favorite with deep cultural roots
How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, once the soil has warmed. Choose a full-sun location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during early growth, then reduce watering as plants mature, as cowpeas are naturally drought-tolerant. Harvest pods when peas are plump for fresh use, or allow them to dry on the plant if storing for later.
