Black eyed beans, also known as black eyed beans are among the most nourishing in the legume family. Their name, of course, comes from the prominent black spot on their skin.

Medicinal Applications:

·       Black eyed beans contain notable amounts of vitamin A. This vitamin is essential for eyes health. It also strengthens skin and skeletal tissue. In a cup of cooked black-eyed peas there are approximately 70 milligrams of vitamin A.

·       Black eyed beans are very rich in vitamin B. There are about 210 milligrams of folate in a cooked cup of beans, which is half the daily recommended intake of this nutrient for both genders. Studies have shown that folate sourced from food can cut your risk of pancreatic cancer by as much as 60 percent. Folate, which helps with cell formation, is especially important during pregnancy. Black eyed peas contain about 12 percent of one’s daily amount of thiamin.

·       Black eyed beans contain soluble fiber, which keeps blood sugar balanced and helps prevent type 2 diabetes. Soluble fiber also binds to cholesterol and carried it out of the body. It protects from several intestinal disorders as well. A cup of black eyed peas provide 21 percent of daily intake of fiber to men and 32 percent to women.

·       Black eyed beans offer substantial amounts of potassium. Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the human body and it can aid against stokes, blood pressure, heart and kidney disorders, anxiety and stress. It also enhances muscle strength, metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions and nurtures the nervous system. Potassium is an essential mineral that everyone should consume adequately.

·       Black eyed beans are a good source of protein. Half a cup of black eyed peas offer 6.7 grams of protein, which supports most of the parts of one’s body, including muscles, skin, hair and nails. Additionally, protein helps with cell growth and repair and provides energy to the body.
