Black Eye Beans (Peru) – Versatile Black-Eyed Peas & Lobia

Black Eye Beans, also known as black-eyed peas, are distinctive pale beans marked by a dark “eye”. They have a mild, earthy flavour and a smooth, tender texture when cooked, making them a versatile ingredient for everyday meals and traditional dishes.

Popular in Indian, African, Middle Eastern, Caribbean and Southern US cuisines, black-eyed beans can be simmered in curries and stews, combined with rice, added to salads or mashed for fritters and other traditional preparations. In Indian cooking, they are commonly known as lobia, rongi or chawli and are often prepared as richly spiced curries served with rice or flatbreads.
