Beans

The broad bean is the edible fruit of the Vicia faba, a plant belonging to the Fabaceae family, to which it is named. It is a climbing plant with a large stem, from which leaves and white flowers sprout that are grouped together and bear a green, large, hairy and fleshy pod (similar to a bean).

Inside it there are some white kidney-shaped seeds, which we know as broad beans, and which can be consumed both dry and fresh.

Some benefits you didn't know about taking beans

Beans are a food with a very low fat and carbohydrate content and a high fibre content, which helps to promote intestinal transit. In terms of vitamins and minerals, beans contain a large amount of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. And to a lesser extent, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, thiamine, niacin, and vitamin B6.

Thanks to their high vegetable protein content, beans can enrich our diet in terms of nutritional quality and are particularly useful for vegans or vegetarians looking to increase their protein intake.
