Our reading written by Cowpea Seeds
Quick Pick appears under three printed names: Alabama's Quick Pick Pinkeye, Texas A&M's Quick Pick and the Mississippi experiment station's QuickPick PEPH (Pink Eye Purple Hull). We group them by name on this page; that grouping is ours.
The Mississippi experiment station describes Quick Pick as a popular cultivar for its high yield potential, large pea size and an erect pod habit that aids hand and mechanical harvesting, and in its Verona trial Quick Pick kept a typical purple hull color at maturity. Alabama lists Quick Pick Pinkeye among its pinkeyes for home gardens.

The Mississippi Pinkeye Purple Hull, Top Pick, or Quick Pick are three of the most popular cultivars due to their high yield potential, large pea size, and an erect pod growth habit that aids in both hand and mechanical harvesting.
At maturity, Quick Pick retained a typical purple hull color
