About Habas

Habas, commonly known as fava beans, are nutrient-rich legumes originating from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. These vibrant green beans are packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium. They are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them an excellent addition to heart-healthy diets. Habas are versatile and feature prominently in various cuisines, used in dishes like soups, stews, salads, and dips such as Egypt's beloved ful medames. Their high fiber content can promote digestive health, while the protein supports muscle growth and repair. However, individuals with a condition called G6PD deficiency should avoid fava beans due to potential adverse reactions. Additionally, they can contain complex sugars that some may find harder to digest. Enjoyed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet, habas offer both nutrition and a burst of flavor.
