Pizza friend,
Black -eyed peas are a small light colored bean (about the size of navy beans, slightly smaller than the beans in your typical can of pork and beans) that have a dark spot at the umbilicus. Mild flavor. Like most legumes, have nitrogen fixing bacteria that attach to their roots and self-fertilize the plants, giving a high protein food source even in poor soil.

And yes, Wikipedia confirms early domestication in Africa followed by widespread planting in the Southern states as far west as Texas.
