1 cup of black eyed peas aka cowpeas, lobia, and mulatto-gelato. Trying to consume more beans for a source of protein and iron. Have no idea how to prepare them so I just boiled them with some Alaea salt (from Hawaii), drained them and sprinkled olive oil.

Was planning to make adzuki bean flour, soaked the beans for 24 hours, in the process of boiling them, smelled something buring...oops...back to the drawing board! Fail!

Instead of throwing the beans away, I ended up eating them (trying to consume more protein and iron since I do not consume any meat or anything with eyeballs).
