Broad bean

The faba bean - Vicia faba - is a member of the Fabaceae family and the Vicieae tribe. The Vicia genus comprises some 140 known species. It is undoubtedly one of the oldest cultivated plants, dating back to prehistoric times. Fresh beans can be eaten raw, but without the thick skin that contains tannins. Cooked, they were, before beans, eaten in cassoulet, also known as févoulet. They can be simmered in a variety of dishes or prepared as a purée or soup. This legume is rich in protein, potassium, iron and magnesium, vitamins and antioxidants.
