Black-eyed peas are a small edible bean, despite their name. They are usually cream-colored with a dark spot on one side, like an eye.
People eat black-eyed peas cooked in soups, stews, salads, and side dishes. They are often served with rice and are a traditional New Year's food in the southern United States, where they are said to bring good luck. The plant likely came from West Africa and was brought to the Americas long ago.
