A little Black-eyed pea Virginia History
Black-eyed peas were sometimes not planted in the garden, but planted by farmers as a green fertilizer crop. Before the sowing of wheat, when in full foliage, they were chopped into the soil.
The black-eye pea is not actually a pea but rather an African Bean, first introduced into the area by Thomas Jefferson, from France. France was always an exponent of agriculture and found this legume high in nitrogen and other soil building qualities.
Dry beans are endorsed by:
American Cancer Society
American Heart Association
