Description: Easy to grow. Drought tolerant. Plant in full sun after danger of frost. Eat as fresh ‘bean’ or dried. Great in salads! Very similar to Black Eyed Peas. Purple/Blackish shell with brownish red cowpea. During the Civil War, after the Yankees had scavenged most of the food throughout the south, the cowpeas, thought to be only fit for critters so they were left alone, were what the southerners ate. They have become a sign of hope, survival, and fortitude for southerners now :) I believe that is where the black-eyed peas, a type of cowpea, came to be eaten on New Years Day - a hope/reminder that one would always have "enough" in the coming year to survive :) 25+ seeds Request: if you wish to order multiple items from us, please select 'Add to Cart' rather than 'Buy Now'.
