About Fava
Fava beans, also known as broad beans, are nutrient-rich legumes cherished in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. These light green beans are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, vitamin B1, and minerals such as iron and magnesium. Fava beans are low in fat and can support heart health, aid digestion, and promote energy production, making them a nourishing addition to many diets. Traditionally used in dishes like Egypt’s ful medames or Greek fava dip, they have a creamy texture and earthy flavor that lends itself to soups, stews, or salads. However, individuals with a genetic condition called G6PD deficiency should avoid fava beans due to a potential risk of triggering a reaction. Overall, their versatility and health benefits make them a popular choice for those seeking nutrient-dense, plant-based foods.
