🌱 What Are Fava Beans?
Fava beans—also known as broad beans or faba beans—are large, flat legumes prized for their dense nutrition, creamy texture, and culinary versatility. Used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, African, and European cuisines, fava beans are excellent for hummus, falafel, soups, snacks, and flours.
These beans are also a rising star in plant-based proteins, animal feed, and meat substitute production due to their high protein and amino acid profile.
