About Boiled broad beans
Boiled broad beans, also known as fava beans, are a nutrient-dense legume enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African. These tender beans are rich in protein, dietary fiber, folate, and iron, making them a great choice for supporting muscle growth, digestive health, and energy production. They also contain several antioxidants like polyphenols, which contribute to cellular health. Low in fat, boiled broad beans are ideal for heart-healthy diets and weight management. While nutritious, they do contain naturally occurring purines, which can be problematic for individuals prone to gout or kidney stones. Additionally, people with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency should avoid them due to the risk of a condition called favism. With their mild, nutty flavor and versatility, boiled broad beans are a wholesome addition to soups, salads, and side dishes.
