Black Eyed Pea Cowpea Seeds
Also known as Lobia. Pods can be eaten green or dehydrated and saved as dry beans. Despite the name black-eyed peas belong to the bean family. Strong root buds are a great method for fixing nitrogen in the soil. Black-eyed peas do not require special conditions that can grow without constant watering without it affecting the amount of fruit. Originated in India and cultivated in many regions across the globe for centuries. Named for the small black 'eye' where the bean is adjoined to the pod within the shell.
