Sea Island Red Peas have a flavor profile that’s rich, earthy, and deeply savory, with a subtle nutty sweetness. When cooked, their texture is tender but slightly firm, offering a pleasant bite that holds up well in stews, soups, and rice dishes. The flavor is often described as robust and hearty, carrying hints of smokiness and a mild, natural sweetness that complements spices without being overpowering. Compared to standard red beans, Sea Island Red Peas have a more pronounced, almost buttery depth, with an earthy undertone that evokes traditional Southern and Caribbean cooking.
They pair beautifully with aromatics like onions, garlic, thyme, and smoked meats, absorbing flavors while maintaining their own distinctive, slightly earthy character. The overall taste experience is comforting, full-bodied, and rich in umami, making them a versatile choice for both simple and complex dishes.

Black-eyed peas carry not only a distinctive flavor but also a rich cultural and historical significance. A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, traditionally, they were associated with luck and prosperity when eaten on New Year’s Day. Culinarily, black-eyed peas are prized for their creamy texture and earthy, nutty flavor that absorbs seasonings beautifully. They form the base of many classic dishes, from Hoppin’ John, to stews and salads across the Southern and coastal United States. Over centuries, their flavor profile has become intertwined with the smoky, savory, and spicy notes of Southern cooking, reflecting a fusion of African, European, and Native American influences.

Unfortunately we experienced a total crop failure on conch peas this year- we hope to have them back next fall.
The Carolina Conch Pea is known for its wholesome, pleasant flavor and its ease of cooking. It is prized as an extremely delicate pea with a creamy texture. This pea is also known for having one of the most refined tastes when compared to other peas. First offered in 1907, Marsh Hen Mill has brought it back to your kitchen table once again.
