Black-eyed Peas
Photographer: Sandra Hughes
Taken: June 19, 2012
Caption: Black-eyed Peas
Additional Description: These garden legumes remain as popular in Georgia today as when Jimmy Carter was a boy, since they produce an abundant harvest of high-protein food in a small space. Black-eyed peas and their cousins, field peas, crowder peas, and cowpeas, are thought to have been introduced into the Southeast from Africa in colonial times. They can be cooked fresh, canned, or dried.
