Tiny fava beans, big nutrition. (Here’s how I prep them

Start by rinsing dried fava beans under cold water to get rid of any dirt or dust. Soak the beans overnight in a big bowl with plenty of water. If you’re short on time, boil them for 3 minutes and let them sit for an hour instead. Drain the beans and remove their skins by pinching each one—trust me, it’s worth it for a better texture. Add the peeled beans to a pot with fresh water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until fork-tender (usually up to 45 minutes). Drain gently and use them right away. Toss them into salads, pasta, or sauté with garlic for a fiber-packed, protein-rich meal. Fava beans are loaded with fiber, folic acid, potassium, and magnesium. Super versatile and totally worth the effort! #FavaBeans #HealthyCooking #PlantProtein #Food #Cooking
