Canned black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed, are a quick-access form of the cowpea providing plant protein, fibre, folate, potassium, and iron. Rinsing reduces added sodium. They are used in Southern US cooking (Hoppin' John), West African stews (akara), and Caribbean dishes.
Ready to use after rinsing; stir into rice dishes, soups, or mash with spices. Their mild flavour pairs well with smoked paprika, thyme, and hot sauce.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
