Fava (or faba) beans, also known as broad beans, are one of the world’s oldest cultivated crops, prized for their rich, nutty flavor and impressive nutritional profile. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, fava beans are a versatile ingredient used in cuisines around the globe. From hearty stews and spreads to innovative plant-based proteins, these legumes offer both taste and sustainability, making them a staple for modern, health-conscious diets.
Burcon has developed a proprietary process to extract and purify protein from fava beans, resulting in a highly pure 90%+ plant-based protein for use in food and beverage products. Like yellow peas, fava beans are nitrogen-fixing crops that improve soil health and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, making them an environmentally friendly ingredient source for product developers and manufacturers.
