About Cooked broad beans
Cooked broad beans, also known as fava beans, are a nutrient-dense legume with a rich history in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. These beans boast a creamy texture and mild, earthy flavor, often used in soups, salads, stews, or purees like the traditional Egyptian dish ful medames. Broad beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Their high fiber content supports digestion and heart health, while their protein makes them a great option for vegetarians and vegans. Rich in antioxidants, they can help combat oxidative stress in the body. However, individuals with G6PD deficiency should avoid them due to potential adverse reactions. Low in fat and naturally free from cholesterol, cooked broad beans are a wholesome addition to a balanced diet when prepared with minimal added fats or sodium.
