Cowpeas, one of the oldest crops domesticated in Africa, are renowned for their rich history and agricultural benefits. Our Sea Island Red Peas, sourced from local farmer Pinckney just down the road from our mill, continue this tradition. These heirloom peas are not only a favorite cover crop but also enhance soil health by returning nitrogen to the soil. Sea Island Red Peas are prized for their slightly sweet, creamy texture, and rich flavor. They are perfect for a variety of dishes and pair wonderfully with Carolina Gold Rice. Experience the exceptional taste and historical significance of these unique peas, and enjoy a time-honored ingredient that's as beneficial for your soil as it is for your palate.
