What are black-eyed peas?

Black-eyed peas are a variety of cowpea, a legume closer to beans than to garden peas, named for the dark spot where each seed was attached to its pod. They are a staple of Southern US cooking, where hoppin' John (black-eyed peas with rice and pork) is a New Year's Day tradition, and of West African and Indian cooking.

Dried, canned and frozen black-eyed peas

This page is for dried peas boiled without salt. Canned black-eyed peas are packed with their liquid and usually salt, so they are lower in calories per 100 g but much higher in sodium. Frozen black-eyed peas are picked younger and have slightly more calories and protein per 100 g once cooked.

Make sure the record you use matches the form and the weight you measure: cooked and drained, or dry.

Black-eyed peas vs black beans and chickpeas

Per 100 g cooked, black-eyed peas have fewer calories than black beans, pinto beans or chickpeas, with a little less protein and fiber than any of the three. They are also notably high in folate: 208 mcg per 100 g.

Labeling a black-eyed pea product

For a soup, salad or hoppin' John, weigh the peas cooked and drained and enter them with every other ingredient in the label generator. If you cook from dried peas, either weigh after cooking or use a dry-pea record for the dry weight, but never mix the two.

Source and method

Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 173759: "Cowpeas, common (blackeyes, crowder, southern), mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.

SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the USDA record ↗
