If you&#8217;re using dried black eyed peas, soak them for about an hour prior to cooking to help make them easier to digest and shorten the cooking time.<\/p>\n<h3>Are black eyed peas beans?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes black eyed peas are a type of bean despite their name. So, if you don&#8217;t have any on hand and are looking for a substitute, you&#8217;ll want to opt for a bean with a similar flavor and\/or texture, like a white bean or a
