[edit] New Year's

The custom at New Year's Day is not specifically hoppin' john, but black-eyed peas, in general, which may, as likely be cooked with just a bit of cured meat.--Aaron Walden 08:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• At least in southern Unites States, including Florida, eating Back-eyed peas is something considered to bring good luck. Not even prepared in anyway, just heated up and a spoon full each. Some more refernces of "lucky foods" --71.251.106.7 21:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

This needs a disambiguation page! Vegetables _and_ music. ;-)

And a restaurant. albrozdude 04:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photographs

Currently there are three photographs of the black-eyed peas themselves (the seeds), but no photographs of the entire plant. Could someone please add a photograph of the whole plant? JRSpriggs 06:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nutritional content

The values per cup in calcium, folate and vitamin A quoted on this page are very different than the ones in Health Canada guide, available at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/nutrition/fiche-nutri-data/nutrient_value-valeurs_nutritives_e.html (page 31).

There is no source at this time for these values ... where do they come from?

HC values are ... calcium : 51 mg, vitamin A : 33 IU, folate : 130 mcg. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scyrma (talk • contribs) 18:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

I removed the reference to "field pea" as another name for black-eyed pea. Field pea is different. Reference to it can be found here http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/alt-ag/fieldpea.htm clickclack27 04:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
