All Eyes on New Year's Eve! ;)

Black-eyed peas are one of the most popular foods traditionally eaten for New Year's feasts. Some people think they symbolize coins so they'll bring prosperity and wealth. Some people think the little black ring or "black eye" represents a continuous ring of luck carrying over into the new year. And some think they are just a rockin' good time.  ;)

Vegans love 'em because they slip easily into all sorts of bean-friendly recipes, they're high in protein and fiber, and they're crazyyumful!

  1. I never knew black eyed peas were considered good luck- must get some for New Year when I go shopping today! I love to eat them with brown rice, thyme and coconut, or with sundried tomatoes and miso as a pate. With or without black eyed beans, hope you have a great New Year :)
