Description

Fava or Faba Beans are one of the oldest domesticated food legumes. They have been part of the Middle Eastern diet since at least since the 4th century.

They are a great source of protein, fibre, iron, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium and many other beneficial nutrients.

Dried faba beans, when cooked and peeled, have a texture similar to cooked chickpeas but slightly softer.

Dried faba beans can be enjoyed year-round. They are more economical than canned beans, and when you soak and cook them they do not contain unnecessary additives like sodium (plus you don’t have to worry about potentially toxic BPA can linings).

Most forms of fava beans need to be peeled before eating, unless they have already been prepped. It’s a time-consuming process, but not difficult at all. We have outlined the peeling process in our recipe section.

Uses

Great for salads, sides, curry, casseroles or in risotto.

Faba beans are a trigger food for G6PD, a hereditary enzymatic deficiency. Those who have this deficiency can develop anemia (potentially severe) from eating faba beans. Populations with the highest percentage of people affected by the deficiency include Sephardic Jews and those of Mediterranean and African heritage. People who are diagnosed with G6PD should not consume faba beans, and if you ever experience symptoms or discomfort after eating them you should be tested for this genetic deficiency.

Faba Beans are naturally gluten free. However, as is industry standard, our pulses have been harvested on the same equipment as cereals containing gluten.

These products are cleaned according to Pulse Australia export standards for machine dressed pulses which are detailed on the Pulse Australia website and generally removes most foreign matter.

To manage gluten risk, inspect before use. Remove foreign seeds if found and wash thoroughly before use.
