Rancho Gordo Super Lucky 2027 Black Eyed Pea

Start 2027 the Southern way: a pot of black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is said to bring good luck all year long. Simple to cook, easy to love.

Very limited production - Rancho Gordo grows only a small crop each season, so grab yours while they last.

These are new-crop peas, which means they cook up creamy, tender and full of flavor. Go classic with a smoky ham hock, or keep it simple with onion, garlic, a bay leaf and good sea salt. However you make them, a bowl on January 1st is one of the South's best traditions - and we could all use a little extra luck this year.

Black-eyed peas are a variety of cowpea, likely native to Africa. They took root in the American South in the 1600s or 1700s and eventually became the New Year's good-luck dish we know today.
