Are black-eyed peas beans or peas?!
Answers: some say the are beans some say peas. I've been wondering this for months.
I don't think you know how good this question is. I, myself, considered it peas because of the name, but in fact, they are beans....Awesome! I love me some black-eyed peas, cornbread, potato salad...let me stop :)
They are peas. Otherwise they would be called black eyed beans.
