Fresh Fava Beans

Fresh Fava Beans, widely known as Broad Beans or Ful in Arabic, are a beloved legume used extensively in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, North African, and South Asian cuisines. In Middle Eastern cooking they are the star of Ful Medames, a classic breakfast dish of slow-cooked fava beans seasoned with garlic, lemon, and olive oil. In Indian cooking they are used in fresh bean curries, salads, and as a seasonal vegetable side dish. Fava beans are exceptionally nutritious, offering high levels of plant-based protein, fibre, folate, iron, and manganese. Fresh fava beans have a bright, grassy flavour superior to canned or dried versions. Shop fresh fava beans and Middle Eastern produce online at Little India Grocery.
