Fava Beans
Those magic beans which grew overnight into a beanstalk that reached into the clouds were most likely fava beans. Despite their name, Fava Beans are actually not beans at all; rather, they belong to the pea family.
Fava beans have long been diet staples in the Mediterranean region, especially in Italy, Portugal, France, Greece and Egypt. They are also popular in Asia, the Middle East, South America, North Africa and in other parts of Europe. Fava beans now have a growing following in the US due to their buttery texture and slight bitterness, rich, nutty flavor, versatility, and their high content of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and L-Dopa (see Health Facts for more info).
