Ezelle Family Fish Eye Pea

Vigna unguiculata

The Ezelle Family’s Fish Eye pea is a pantry-staple black-eyed pea that grows exceptionally well. This climbing pea is vigorous and highly productive. The Fish Eye pea has been stewarded for many generations by the Ezelle family who traces their family to Mali, West Africa. Though enslaved, the women of the family carried the seeds in their hair when the family was split up and relocated from a Louisiana plantation to Mississippi. This variety was introduced to us by Kris Hubbard
