Health benefits of fava (broad) beans
1) Broad beans are very high in protein and energy as in any other beans and lentils. 100 g of beans carry 341 calories per 100 g. Besides, they also compose plenty of health-benefiting antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and plant sterols.
2) The beans are a very rich source of dietary fiber (66% per100g RDA) which acts as a bulk laxative. Dietary fiber helps to protect the colon mucosa by decreasing its exposure time to toxic substances as well as by binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. Dietary fiber has also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing the re-absorption of cholesterol-binding bile acids in the colon.
3) Broad beans are rich in phytonutrients such as isoflavone and plant sterols. Isoflavones such as genistein and daidzein have been found to protect against breast cancer in laboratory animals. Phytosterols, especially Ã??-sitosterol, help lower cholesterol levels in the body.
