Black eyed beans (or peas) are white legumes with a prominent black spot resembling an eye. They are highly nutritious food providing protein, fiber, potassium, zinc and other nutrients.
In the Southern United States, it is believed that eating black eyed beans on a New Year's Day will bring prosperity throughout the year. There are several stories as to the origin of this custom. The tradition of eating black-eyed peas for good luck at the Jewish New Year, is recorded in the Babylonian Talmud. Along with black eyed peas, bottle gourd, leeks, either beets or spinach and dates are considered good luck symbols in the early Jewish tradition in the 16th century. (Source Wikipedia)
In the Southern United States, the black eyed peas are typically cooked with a pork and diced onion, and served with a hot chili sauce or a pepper-flavored vinegar.
