Beans/Peas, Black Eyed, Organic, Superpail

Organic Black Eyed Beans (Peas), 40 lbs.

Our Black Eyed Beans are certified organic, triple-cleaned and perfect for baking & cooking purposes. Black eyed beans are also commonly referred to as black eyed peas, but they are in fact, legumes (beans). Black eyed beans come from the cowpea family, which is why they're sometimes called "peas". 

Convenient & safe storage

Our Black Eyed Beans (Peas) are certified organic and non-GMO, and come in six-gallon buckets (or pails... another word for the same container), containing 40 lbs. net weight. When you store Black Eyed Beans (Peas) at home, they need to be protected in a couple of ways. First, they need to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to them before you do. Weevils and rodents, for example. You also need to protect your Black Eyed Beans (Peas) from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our Black Eyed Beans (Peas) come in provide full protection against these storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket (because air is mainly oxygen and nitrogen).

Super-cleaned

All of our organic Black Eyed Beans (Peas) are triple-cleaned to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Black Eyed Beans that aren't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

Shelf Life

Our organic Black Eyed Beans (Peas) have a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

Non-GMO

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole food products are natural (non-GMO). Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China. It is now grown in the Southern U.S. as well, and is a popular ingredient in Southern cuisine. 

Black Eyed Beans Uses & History

Black Eyed Beans (vigna unguiculata) originally came from Western Africa, but have also been cultivated in China and India for centuries. The flavor of Black Eyed Beans is earthy, slightly sweet and they have a firm texture when cooked. The beans can be ground into flour, or cooked for soups, casseroles, or a salad with a simple vinaigrette. Black Eyed Beans pair well with greens, potatoes, curry, and fish. It's also a common choice for rice and bean dishes. Black Eyed Beans are low-oxalate beans, which makes them a great choice for those on a low-oxalate diet.
