Hi, I'm Charlie the Chipmunk and I'm following a nutritious plant-based diet. Today I'd like to tell you about a nutritious legume, the fava bean. Did you know this member of the pea family dates back over 5000 years? It's a good source of iron, protein, and fiber. The beans are also rich in dopamine, a neurotransmitter important for the functioning of the central nervous system. Fava beans are described as having a buttery texture, slight bitterness, and nutty flavor. You can serve them boiled, grilled or in salads, veg sauces, pasta, and stew recipes, all delicious.
