Loubia (Black Eyed Peas / Kidney Beans)

Loubia, which refers to various types of beans such as black-eyed peas or kidney beans, is a staple pulse across many global cuisines, highly valued for its protein content and versatility. While the term is widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cooking to describe ready-to-eat dishes or dried legumes, the production of the raw product occurs globally.

Major commercial producers of these legumes include India, Myanmar, Brazil, and the United States. In many cases, specialized regional brands source these beans from large-scale agricultural exporters and package them under local labels for distribution. Ownership depends on the specific retail brand found on the packaging, as many are managed by local food conglomerates or international agribusiness firms.
