AYEM ZAMEN FAVA BEANS 500g

Fava beans are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. They’re thought to offer impressive health effects, such as improved motor function and immunity.
For their relatively small size, fava beans pack an incredible amount of nutrients.

In particular, they’re rich in plant protein, folate and several other vitamins and minerals. They’re also loaded with soluble fiber that can aid digestion and lower cholesterol levels. Fava beans are rich in L-dopa, which your body converts to dopamine. Since Parkinson’s disease is characterized by low dopamine levels, eating fava beans may help with symptoms.
Fava beans are loaded with folate, a nutrient that promotes proper brain and spinal cord development in infants. Adequate folate intake in pregnant women can help prevent neural tube defects.
Fava beans contain compounds that have been shown to boost antioxidants.
Research in both animals and humans suggests that adequate levels of manganese and copper — two nutrients that are abundant in fava beans — may promote bone strength. Regular consumption of fava beans may help increase blood iron levels and improve symptoms of anemia that results from inadequate iron intake. Fava beans are loaded with magnesium and potassium that may help relax blood vessels and decrease high blood pressure.
Ingredients:
100% Fava beans.

Additional Information

The method below uses a ratio of 10 cups of water per 1 pound of dried fava beans. If you plan to use a different amount, please adjust accordingly using this ratio. There are two ways to soak dried fava beans - either with an overnight soak, or with a shorter "quick soak." -Overnight soak :- in a large pot or bowl, combine the fava beans with water at a ratio of 10 cups of water per pound of dried beans. Soak overnight. -Once the beans have soaked, you will notice that they have increased in size, indicating that they have absorbed moisture. -Quick soak- you will need 1 hour. Place the fava beans into the bottom of a large pot and cover with water. The beans will expand, so make sure you cover by several inches of water to allow for this. Bring beans to a boil. Let them boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
