Their smooth texture also makes them excellent in dips and spreads - simply season with herbs, spices, and a splash of lemon or vinegar for flavour.

Customer reviews
I like to use blackeye beans as they are so quick to prepare and I don't have to plan before hand as they do not need soaking. I tried the Caribbean Rice and Peas recipe and the whole family are now fans of this addition to our menu repertoire
