Highlights of Indo European Fava Beans

• Large broad beans — rich, buttery texture once cooked
• High in protein, folate and iron — excellent plant-based nutrition
• Essential for ful medames, the beloved Egyptian and Levantine breakfast
• Also great in soups, stews and as a hearty side dish

How to Use

Soak fava beans overnight in cold water. Drain, peel the outer skin (or leave on for a rustic texture) and simmer for 45–60 minutes until tender. Season with olive oil, lemon, garlic and cumin for classic ful medames. They also work well roasted with spices for a crunchy snack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do fava beans need to be peeled? The outer skin can be left on for rustic dishes, but peeling after soaking and blanching gives a creamier, smoother result.

Are fava beans safe for everyone? People with G6PD deficiency (favism) should avoid fava beans as they can trigger a reaction. Others may consume them freely.

Can I use canned fava beans instead? Yes — canned favas are pre-cooked and save time. Dry beans offer a firmer texture and more control over seasoning.
