FABA BEANS/ FOUL MISRI

Faba beans (Vicia faba) are a nutrient-rich winter-growing pulse widely cultivated in Australia, particularly in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia. Originally grown commercially in the 1980s, they have since become a staple in many cuisines worldwide. These versatile beans are commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes such as soups, porridges, and curries. They can also be enjoyed in salads, either whole or sprouted, adding a healthy and flavorful touch. Additionally, faba beans are often ground into flour, making them a valuable ingredient in bakery products and soup powders. With their rich protein content and culinary versatility, faba beans are an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
