About this product

Description

Fava Beans, also known as Broad Beans, are a nutritious and versatile legume that is popular in Italian cuisine. They grow in pods on the Vicia Faba plant and are known for their bright green, slightly elongated shape and bitter taste. When fresh, they are a popular springtime food and are often enjoyed raw, drizzled with oil, or paired with cured meats and aged cheeses.
  • Fava Beans are incredibly rich in iron, fibre, mineral salts, and proteins, making them a great choice for those looking to increase their intake of these important nutrients. 
  • Fava beans are used in Mediterranean cuisine, where they are used to make dishes such as ful medames and bissara. Fava beans are also used in Asian cuisine, where they are used to make dishes such as stir-fries and curries.
  • Fava Beans can be easily prepared by boiling, roasting, or sautéing, and can be used in a variety of dishes to add flavour and texture.
