Fagioli Occhiolina

The black eye bean, or wink, is actually not a bean, but a pea. The thin but resistant skin makes this bean an excellent product: in fact, compared to other beans, it gives less swelling and cooks more quickly. To date, the cowpea has become almost a rarity, due to the greater difficulty of harvesting and the lower agricultural yield compared to other beans.
