BLACK-EYE-EYE FLOUR It is a type of flour obtained by grinding dried black-eyed peas. Black-eyed peas flour increases vitamin A and zinc activity in grain-based dishes. Adding black-eyed peas flour to baked goods can increase minerals such as iron, copper, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. Breads made by adding black-eyed peas to bread flour have a lower caloric value than breads made from other flours. Compared to traditional starch sources (cassava, potato, corn, rice), starch obtained from black-eyed peas also improves the technological quality of bakery products.
