Eden Organic Black Eyed Peas
What it is
These are dried black eyed peas, a type of legume. They are small and have a distinctive black spot on a creamy white body. Eden Organic sources their beans from American family farms and cooks them with kombu seaweed for added flavor and digestibility. They are packaged in a can.
How people cook with it
Black eyed peas are a staple in many savory dishes. They can be cooked and served as a side or incorporated into larger meals.
- Cooked as a side dish
- Added to soups and stews
- Used in salads
- Made into dips
To prepare these black eyed peas, drain and rinse them thoroughly. They are already cooked, so they can be added directly to recipes. For a simple side, sauté them with onions, garlic, and your favorite seasonings. They can also be simmered in broths or sauces to absorb flavors. For a cold preparation, mix them into a salad with chopped vegetables and a vinaigrette.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh or frozen black eyed peas, canned versions are pre-cooked and ready to use, saving significant preparation time. Dried black eyed peas require soaking and boiling, which can take several hours. These are also cooked with kombu, which is a traditional Japanese method to enhance flavor and make legumes easier to digest.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and healthy legume option will appreciate these black eyed peas.
How to keep the rest
After opening the can, transfer any unused black eyed peas to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator and consume within 2 to 3 days. This ensures they remain fresh and safe to eat for your next meal.
