California Blackeye Southern Bean

Vigna ungiculata

"The Bean Southern Cowpea California Blackeye #5, `Vigna ungiculata,' produces large, smooth seeds that are mostly eaten fresh, but can also be dried. The pods can also be eaten whole when they are young. This is the most popular southern pea. Although technically a bean, Southern Peas will grow in conditions similar to or a little bit warmer and more humid than snap beans. These beans are very high in protein, low in fat, and high in vitamin B1. When producing dried beans, wait until the pods have turned yellow and other colors, as this is when the beans are dry."
