Fava beans are one of the oldest cultivated plants. Some research has shown evidence of their incorporation into diets dating back to at least 6000 BC. Their magical reputation in ancient Egypt made them symbolic offerings to gods. They are packed with nutrition, naturally high in fibre and protein, providing several health benefits. Rich in phytonutrients and plant sterols are proven to correlate with health promotion and disease prevention directly. They have no cholesterol or saturated fat and contain many essential vitamins and minerals such as folate, thiamin, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin B-6, potassium, copper, selenium, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and calcium. These vitamins and minerals play a vital role in the overall health and development of our bodies.
