Broad beans: what they are, properties, benefits and nutritional value

Ideal in stews, with ham or scrambled with eggs, broad beans are legumes rich in nutrients. Rather oval in appearance and green in color, they have tender and very tasty meat that adapts to a wide variety of recipes. Furthermore, the optimal time for its consumption is from the winter months to spring.

When buying beans, it is important that they are fresh. To do this, you should check that the pod crunches and breaks easily, while the seed should have green tones instead of black. In this way, the consumption of beans and other legumes such as lentils or chickpeas should occur between two and three times a week.
