About Broad beans paste
Broad beans paste, also known as fava bean paste, is a savory spread made primarily from cooked broad beans, often blended with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices for added flavor. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it is a staple in dishes such as Egyptian ful medames or Syrian fava bean dips. This paste is dense with nutrients, including plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making it a healthy option for vegetarians and vegans. Its high fiber content supports digestion and heart health, while its protein helps with satiety and muscle repair. However, those watching their calorie intake should consume it in moderation, as it can be rich in added oils. Broad beans paste is also naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. It is versatile and can serve as a dip, spread, or even an ingredient for enriching soups and stews.
