Description
Fava beans have a fresh, sweet, and subtly bitter flavor well-suited for both raw and cooked applications. Fava beans are an excellent source of fiber to stimulate the digestive tract and are rich in folate, which helps produce red blood cells to transport oxygen through the bloodstream. The beans are also a good source of manganese to develop connective tissue in the body, copper to maintain metabolism, phosphorus to strengthen bones and teeth, and contain iron, potassium, and magnesium.
