Fava Beans, Dry

EverydayDry

Dry fava beans are legumes that require soaking and cooking before consumption to soften their tough outer skin and develop their characteristic flavor. These beans are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and iron, making them a nutritious addition to soups, stews, and purees. Once cooked, fava beans have a slightly sweet and nutty taste, and are often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
