About Mashed fava beans
Mashed fava beans, a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, are both flavorful and nutrient-rich. Made by cooking and mashing fava beans, often blended with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices, this dish boasts a creamy texture and earthy taste. Fava beans are packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and B vitamins. They also contain minerals such as potassium, iron, and magnesium, contributing to overall heart health and energy metabolism. Their high fiber content supports digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. However, individuals with G6PD deficiency should avoid fava beans due to potential health risks. When prepared with heart-healthy olive oil and served alongside fresh vegetables, mashed fava beans become a wholesome dish. Enjoyed as a dip, spread, or side, this versatile creation adds nutrition and flavor to meals while celebrating centuries-old culinary traditions.
