You boil them like you would red beans or white beans or chili. Add bacon or a meaty ham hock for flavor.

FYI: Purple hull peas were bred/created at LSU. They're purple by design. They're good climbers and make lovely flowers.

So are they dried?

Actin' runny but I don't know why
'Scuse me, but I got broccoli.....

I ran a search and came up with a band.

If so, hydrate them first like dried pinto (or any other bean) beans. If canned, add as is. If fresh, VICTORY!

Mash a few peas when stirring to thicken. With rice, it is a superfood.

I generally prefer yellow eyed peas but they are all more or less the same as black eyed peas.

Never. For the life of me, I can't remember ever seeing a can in a store. AND I live in the land of pots of beans (albeit pinto beans) on a stove is the norm.

Well, if they taste anything like black eyed peas then I don't want anything to do with them.

They don't exactly taste the same. I find peas to have an unpleasant texture and gritty on the pallet. When I eat them, however, I go with yellow eyed, usually in the form of traditional Hoppin John.
