It appears that
there is
confusion among
consumers as to
the difference
between
“cowpeas” and
“Southern peas.”
The answer is
simple; there
are no
differences,
they are one in
the same.
However, these
so-called “peas”
are not really
peas at all but
beans.
There are many
different
varieties of
green peas as
well as many
unnamed strains
of this
excellent human
food legume.
Part of the
confusion in
knowing
precisely which
of these
varieties or
strains one
might have is
due to the many
growers saving
their own seed.
Once true
varietal
identity becomes
lost and a new
local name is
given, no one
knows for sure
what it is. As
the seeds are
spread around,
various names
are given to
what started out
as one variety.
What might have
been called
“Georgia Peach”
in that state
now becomes
“Florida Cream”
in Florida, and
so on.
