Fava Beans, Canned

EverydayCannedDrained

Fava beans, also known as broad beans, are large legumes that have been processed and preserved through canning for convenience. These tender, pale green beans provide an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber, while offering significant amounts of folate and iron. The canned variety eliminates the lengthy preparation required for fresh fava beans, offering a ready-to-use product with a creamy texture that's ideal for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
