Black-eyed peas are small, cream-coloured beans with a dark eye, central to Southern dishes like Hoppin' John and to many stews and salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of cooked, drained black-eyed peas weighs around 175 grams or 6.17 ounces. When a recipe lists them in cups but you are cooking from dried or a can, converting by weight keeps the ratio right.

Dried black-eyed peas roughly double in weight once cooked, and a can drains to about 240 g, while recipes mix cups, grams, and cans. Weighing in grams keeps the bean ratio steady.
