Bulk spotlight: black-eyed peas
PCC Taste | January 2013
New Year's Day tradition in the South calls for eating black-eyed peas — the pea, with its "knowing eye," is said to bring luck and prosperity for the coming year.
However black-eyed peas are a satisfying comfort food all winter long. Members of the legume family, they're actually beans and are a good source of potassium, iron and fiber. Find them in our bulk department where you can snag just the amount you need.
