Fava Beans (Raw)

Fava Beans (Raw)s are broad green beans popular across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Latin cuisines — often eaten fresh, shelled, or lightly cooked in stews, salads and purées. They are notable as a hearty plant ingredient and are valued for their earthy flavor and creamy texture when cooked. Nutritionally, Fava Beans (Raw)s are a good source of plant fiber and provide about 5.4g of fiber per 100g, along with meaningful plant protein, B-vitamins (notably folate), and trace minerals like copper and manganese. They are low in total fat and mostly free of saturated fat. From a health perspective, fava beans supply quality plant protein and substantial fiber that supports fullness and gut health, and they contain antioxidant compounds that contribute modest protective benefits.
