HI ARBOR
COOKBOOK
Hello,
and welcome
back to Hi Arbor. Come in and sit a spell with a cup of hot tea
or perhaps some Elvis Coffee. The information for the latter is
below. I hope all of you are well and enjoying the holiday
season. It's a brisk and busy season that ends with the arrival
of a new year. Tradition has it that eating blackeye peas on the
first day of the new year brings good luck. With that thought in
mind, this issue of the Hi Arbor News has information about
blackeye peas, also known as cowpeas, and recipes. If you have
any information, suggestions or recipes you'd like to share,
please send it to hiarbornews@aol.com. The next issue of this
newsletter will go out on January 19, 2006.
Take good care.
With warmest regards and best wishes,
Roxanne

the seeds of plants of the family Fabaceae, previously known as
Leguminosae. The family is large and contains species that can
grow in most soils and climates. Legumes include: dried beans,
dried peas, lentils, peanuts, soy beans, bean sprouts". There is
other information at this site you may want to look at.

INFORMATION ABOUT
COWPEAS:
The web address below has a lot of information about cowpeas,
including blackeye peas. History -- "Cowpea (Vigna
unguiculata L. Walp.), an annual legume, is also commonly
referred to as southern pea, blackeye pea, crowder pea, lubia,
niebe, coupe or frijole. Cowpea originated in Africa and is
widely grown in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia and in the
southern United States. It is chiefly used as a grain crop, for
animal fodder, or as a vegetable. The history of cowpea dates to
ancient West African cereal farming, 5 to 6 thousand years ago,
where it was closely associated with the cultivation of sorghum
and pearl millet."
