Black-eyed peas are more than just a lucky
charm on New Year’s Day!
They are a bean with a pleasant aroma and
distinctive taste. Black eyed peas are low in fat
and a great source of potassium, iron, and fiber.
Although their interesting shape, white skin, and
black eye make them a household favorite at the
beginning of the year, this tiny little bean can be
pleasantly enjoyed year round.
This recipe for Texas-Style Black-Eyed Pea and
Jalapeño Pepper Salsa is a flavorful way to enjoy
black-eyed peas in a dish that can be eaten year-
round.
