Cooking with Fava Beans

Posted on October 09, 2023 by The VRG Blog Editor

Fava beans, also known as broad beans or horse beans, are the original protein of the Mediterranean, going back centuries before red and white beans from the New World were introduced. Favas are most commonly associated with Italian dishes, but they can be found from Spain to Southwestern France, from Italy to Morocco. They are also used in Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine.
