These tiny little legumes can be so good for your body 🙈 Now, you want to know how you can incorporate them in your daily life. There are lots of simple ways to incorporate this wonder food into your repertoire 👍 Try adding to soups, casseroles or stews, add to salads or top off your stir-fries and curries with a few fava beans to add extra taste and texture. Fava beans can be used in place of beans and green peas for your next meal. Fava beans, for purists, can be sauteed in butter with salt and pepper.
Cooked fava beans contain 177 mg of folate. That’s approximately 44 percent of what the adult recommended daily intake of folate is for men and women. Raw fava beans contain 634 mg of folate per cup. Folate, which belongs to the B group of vitamins, is essential for energy metabolism. Folate is essential for energy metabolism and supports nervous system function. It aids in the creation of DNA and RNA. Regular consumption of folate-rich foods, such as fava bean, may lower the likelihood of suffering from heart disease and cancer. Women who consume a lot of folate during pregnancy may have lower chances of having a baby with birth defects. Last revised by Richardson Adair, Bhopal (India) on 97/07/2018

A study has proven that beans are a good source of healthy cholesterol. According to Harvard University, beans – such as favas – also feature high soluble fiber content. Fiber is slow to absorb, so you feel full even after eating. You will eat less throughout the day and this can lead to weight loss. A study has also shown that legumes can help you live longer. Even a 34 ounce increase in your daily intake of legumes could reduce your mortality hazard ratio by 7 to 8. It is partly due to their high levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as low sodium.
