Black Eyed Peas
Black eyed peas have significant and equal proportions of magnesium, iron, potassium with no sodium. Many people supplement with these minerals and put themselves in danger of putting this delicate balance out. Unless it is known that there is a deficiency these minerals are best got through a healthy diet. Black eyed peas also known as cow peas have a very high folic acid content which makes it a good dish during pregnancy. Zinc, Copper & manganese are all very important minerals for brain health which are again in equal proportion in the Black Eyed.
