About Broadbeans (fava beans), mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt

Fava beans — broad beans — are large, flat, bright-green beans with a buttery texture and a fresh, slightly bitter, grassy flavor. Popular across the Mediterranean and Middle East, they're eaten fresh in spring and as dried beans year-round, in everything from Egyptian ful medames to a simple sauté with garlic.

They're a nutritious legume: high in plant protein and fiber, low in fat, and a strong source of folate, manganese, copper and iron. Like other beans they're filling and good for steady energy. One important note: a small number of people with a genetic condition called G6PD deficiency (sometimes called favism) must avoid them.

Fresh or dried, fava beans bring a distinctive, savory depth to a plate — a nutritious, protein-rich bean with a long history in Mediterranean cooking.
