California Blackeye Southern Bean
The large, smooth seed is mostly eaten fresh, but they can as well be dried, or the pods can be eaten whole when they are young. Technically a bean, Southern Peas grow in conditions similar to or slightly warmer and more humid than snap beans. They are very high in protein, low in fat, and high in vitamin B1. For dried beans, wait until the pod has turned yellow and other colours and beans are then dry.
The Bean Southern Cowpea California Blackeye # 5, 'Vigna ungiculata', is the most popular southern pea.
