About Fava bean
Fava beans, also known as broad beans, are nutrient-packed legumes native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in Middle Eastern, European, and Asian cuisines. They are rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, B vitamins, and vitamin K, making them an excellent choice for maintaining heart health and supporting energy metabolism. Fava beans are also a good source of minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, which promote strong bones and help regulate blood pressure. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they can be enjoyed in soups, stews, salads, or mashed into dips like the Egyptian dish ful medames. They also contain antioxidants that support immune health and reduce inflammation. However, individuals with a rare genetic condition called G6PD deficiency should avoid fava beans, as they can trigger a condition known as hemolytic anemia. Versatile and nutritious, fava beans are a staple in many healthy diets.
