(Black-eyed Peas or Cowpeas) Black-eyed peas (beans) are wonderful in soups, which is the most frequent way that we prepare them. Every bean variety has a slightly different flavor and it is good to try different ones in your recipes. See the nutritional chart for raw and cooked black-eyed peas. The photo to the left shows the actual size of the black-eyed peas.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
