What is the difference between Field peas & Black-eyed peas?

Answer 1

They are pretty much the same thing - slight difference in color. Black eyes have black centers and field peas or purple hull peas have dark purple centers. Black eyed peas are a field pea.

Crowder peas are also considered a field pea - but normally the field peas you buy in the freezer section or canned section of your grocer will normally be purple hulls or a smaller variety of field peas. They are usually called field peas with snaps. Crowder peas will always be called Crowder peas on the package.

Answer 2

My understanding backs up Mightyt100's: black-eyed peas are a variety of field peas. Some other field peas are zipper peas (so called because when shelling them, they open like a zipper because the hull is leather-like), purple runners, and yellow runners. All are a Summer crop which withstand the heat and humidity in Souther Georgia (USA).

Many varieties of field peas are also called cow peas because they traditionally were grown as cow fodder (the vines).

Unlike other sources on the Web, crowder peas are NOT the same as black-eyed peas. As said before, crowder peas are smaller, yellow-white, and the flesh is creamy when cooked.

There is a difference in the taste and texture. Black eye peas taste coarse and sort of crumbly. Fresh black eye peas have a green hull. Purple hull peas are a little smoother in texture and have a creamy taste. Fresh purple hull peas have a variegated to dark purple hull when mature.

Answer 5

The black-eyed pea, also called black-eyed bean, blackeye, field peas, lobiya, rongi or chawli, is a subspecies of the cowpea, grown for its medium-sized edible bean, which mutates easily giving rise to a number of varieties, the common commercial one called the California Blackeye being pale-colored with a prominent black spot. The currently accepted botanical name is Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata, although previously it was classified in the genus Phaseolus. Vigna unguiculata subsp. dekindtiana is the wild relative and Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis is the related asparagus bean. Other beans of somewhat similar appearance, such as the "Frijol ojo de cabra" ("Goat's eye bean") of Northern Mexico are sometimes incorrectly called "black eyed peas" and vice versa
