Fava spread is a creamy dip or spread made primarily from cooked and pureed fava beans, often blended with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs such as parsley or mint. Originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, it is prized for its rich, earthy flavor and versatility, traditionally served with pita bread, vegetables, or as a topping for grilled meats or fish. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and magnesium, fava spread is a nutritious addition to meals, promoting digestive health and sustained energy. Its olive oil content contributes healthy fats, while lemon juice adds a dose of vitamin C. However, it may contain higher sodium levels if prepackaged or heavily seasoned. Ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets, fava spread is both flavorful and beneficial for heart health when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
