## Overview

## Description

Product Description          Fava Beans have a unique nutty taste and a buttery, silky texture. Fava beans, along with lentils, garbanzo beans, and peas, were among the first cultivated crops (almost 8,000 years ago!). They were a staple in Ancient Greek and Roman diets. They are still quite popular throughout the Mediterranean, as well as in Latin American, Asian, and African cuisines. Before eating, fava beans should be peeled. While the outer peel of the beans is edible, we recommend peeling it since it has a woody feel that detracts from the interior bean's luscious creaminess. Fava beans, also known as wide beans, lend sumptuousness to foods as diverse as dips, salads, risottos, and pasta when served simply with olive oil, salt, and lemon. Natural, GMO-free British Fava Beans (Faba) are suitable for vegans. We believe that good food shouldn’t cost the earth, as such, sustainability matters to us dearly. That’s why we work tirelessly to find sustainable solutions throughout our business. We rolled out all-new 100% recyclable packaging on Wholefood Earth products. The new packaging is apt for kerbside recycling. Thank you for knowing It's what's on the inside that counts. For wanting a future without toxins in the food your children eat. For insisting on the accountability that traces food back to its source. For protecting the biodiversity that nurtures animal habitats and makes crops thrive. And, from everyone here at Wholefood Earth, thank you for using your buying power to make meaningful, informed choices that will continue to nourish our people and our planet today, tomorrow, and forever. We're here for a healthier earth, sustainable earth, wholesome earth.             Ingredients          Fava Beans.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good Quality and Good for Sprouting
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2022*

I find these very good quality. They have a fantastic flavour, and fair well boiled and then used in a variety of dishes. I use them often in ful medames - or as close as I get to making it - and in various stews.I have recently taken to sprouting these. It does not say on the packet if these are appropriate for sprouting but the sprouts are just fantastic. I normally fry these off lightly, and they have a lovely sweet flavour, and a starchy, sturdy texture. (Raw sprouts must come from very carefully fertilised seeds or they could come with some very unhealthy bacteria, and can give you a nasty, perhaps even dangerous, bout of food poisoning. I am only saying that I have done this, but please do not mistake this for a recommendation)

    Overnight soaking
  

*by B***  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2023*

I love fava beans , I usually boil them until they're soft and add lemon garlic and olive oil to taste, even though I soaked them overnight in water and bicarbonate soda, they still took ages to cook .

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Be aware -- very time consuming to prepare
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2023*

I was very excited about preparing Ful Mesdammes, which I did shortly after receiving these.  I had a stomach ache for almost a week after eating them, so I researched how exactly they are supposed to be prepared.  Sure enough, I had not prepared them properly--they need to be peeled!If you're up for soaking overnight, then cooking for an hour, cooling, then peeling each bean individually (some pop right out of the skin after cooking, others are a bit more fiddly), go for it!  But I found it was 2 hours out of my life that I would rather spend on something a bit more fun or enlightening :)
