Black Peas

Black Peas – Karuppu Pattani, Antioxidant-Rich Traditional Legume

Black Peas (karuppu pattani in Tamil) are a nutritionally rich variety of dried peas distinguished by their dark seed coat. The dark color signals a high concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants – beneficial compounds associated with reduced inflammation and improved cardiovascular health.

High in protein and fiber, black peas are a nutritious addition to traditional South Indian cooking. They offer an earthier, more robust flavor compared to their white counterparts.
