field peas
Cowpea garden crop
Field peas are legumes grown primarily as a crop rather than for fresh eating—dried peas used for animal feed, soil enrichment, or in dishes like split pea soup.
In the American South, field peas often refers to black-eyed peas and similar cowpeas: We had field peas and cornbread for supper.
The term distinguishes these from garden peas eaten fresh or frozen.
