About Fava beans
Fava beans, also known as broad beans, are a nutrient-rich legume native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in Middle Eastern, European, and African cuisines. Packed with protein and dietary fiber, they are a great plant-based option for supporting muscle growth, digestion, and heart health. Fava beans are also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals such as folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which contribute to energy production, improved circulation, and bone health. Low in fat and free of cholesterol, they are ideal for maintaining a balanced diet. However, individuals with G6PD deficiency should avoid consuming fava beans as they may cause a rare condition called favism. Whether served as a creamy hummus, tossed in salads, or blended into soups, fava beans add a hearty texture and rich, nutty flavor to a variety of dishes while boosting overall nutritional value.
