Dry Fava Beans

Fava Beans or "broad beans" are originally native to Greece, Africa and the Middle East. Fava Beans, like other legumes are high in soluble fiber, protein and other key nutrients like potassium, calcium, manganese, and phosphorus.

Use Gonsalves Fava Beans in a wide variety of dishes, especially Portuguese cuisines. Fava Beas are an excellent choice for soups, salads and stews. Try pureeing fava beans and serving them with crostini. With their distinct flavor and rich, creamy texture, fava beans are delicious when steamed and served with olive oil and sparkled with sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
