Interesting fact

What the Can Liquid Takes

Plain canned black-eyed peas carry about 51 mcg DFE of folate and 3.3 g of fiber per 100 g, against roughly 208 mcg DFE and 6.5 g for the same pea boiled at home from dry. Both gaps come mainly from the packing liquid that ships with the beans.

Practical guidance

How to choose and store Blackeye Pea (Canned)

How to choose

Choose cans in good condition. Avoid bulging, leaking, rusted, or deeply dented cans.

Storage

Store unopened in a cool, dry place below 85°F. High-acid foods (like tomatoes, citrus, pineapple) keep 12–18 months; low-acid foods (like beans, most vegetables, fish) keep 2–5 years. Once opened, refrigerate the unused portion; for best quality move it to a covered container. Follow any date on the label.
