About Broadbeans, immature seeds, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

The broad bean (Vicia faba), known across the United States as the fava bean, is a large, flat, vivid-green legume that grows a few to a thick, cushioned pod. Among the oldest cultivated crops on earth, it has a creamy bite and a fresh, nutty, lightly sweet flavor edged with gentle bitterness. Fava beans are an excellent source of plant protein, fiber, folate, iron, and manganese. Fresh favas are usually double-shelled, popped first from the pod and then from the waxy skin around each bean, before they are boiled, sauteed in olive oil, or smashed onto toast; dried favas simmer into hearty stews and get ground for falafel and the Egyptian breakfast ful medames.

One important caution: people with the inherited condition favism can react badly to them and must steer clear. Choose pods that are firm and plump rather than bulging and leathery, and store fresh fava beans in the refrigerator, using them within a few days.
