First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.

| Nutrient | black-eyed peas | soybeans |
| Protein | 14g | 18g |
| Carbohydrate | 36g | 15g |
| Fiber | 6g | 6g |
| Fat | 1g | 9g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 9g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 4g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 1g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | black-eyed peas | soybeans |
| Choline | 13% | 0% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 2% |
| Vitamin C | 1% | 53% |
| Vitamin E | 2% | 0% |
| Vitamin K | 4% | 0% |
Soybeans have significantly more Vitamins C than black-eyed peas. Black-eyed peas are a good source of Magnesium, Zinc. Black-eyed peas are a great source of Thiamin, Phosphorus, Iron. Soybeans are a good source of Riboflavin, Potassium, Magnesium. Soybeans are a great source of Vitamin C, Thiamin, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | black-eyed peas | soybeans |
| Vitamin B1 | 51% | 59% |
| Vitamin B2 | 12% | 22% |
| Vitamin B3 | 10% | 19% |
| Vitamin B5 | 18% | 4% |
| Vitamin B6 | 19% | 8% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | black-eyed peas | soybeans |
| Sodium | 1% | 1% |
| Potasium | 19% | 24% |
| Calcium | 13% | 54% |
