Learn about broad bean, fava bean

What are the health benefits of fresh broad beans, also known as fava beans?

Fresh broad beans, or fava beans, are a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as folate, manganese, copper, and magnesium. They also contain phytonutrients and antioxidants that contribute to overall health, including heart health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

What are the health risks associated with fresh fava beans?

Fresh fava beans contain a compound called vicine that can cause a condition called favism in individuals with a genetic enzyme deficiency called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Symptoms of favism include fever, headache, and in severe cases, anemia. People with G6PD deficiency should avoid consuming fresh fava beans to prevent adverse health effects.
