Fava Beans: These beans, the ones Jack grew in to a beanstalk, are underappreciated in the United States, although popular elsewhere. They require quite a bit of preparation, including shelling, parboiling, and another shelling, but the creamy, buttery bean that awaits is worth the effort. Fava beans can be eaten by themselves, but are also featured in Italian, English, Mexican, Chinese, and Middle Eastern recipes, making them a terrifically diverse ingredient in pastas, soups, and salads like this Herbed Bean Salad. They are very high in protein, a powerhouse source of fiber, and a good source of healthy omega fatty acids and other vitamins.

Thanks - I've been trying to incorporate more vegetables into our diet.
Thank you Brandi, for Sharing this!
I like all of those. Thanks.
I never thought of parsely as a vegetable before...always as an herb.
Love leeks but they are a little expensive. I've bought some dried fava beans, but haven't cooked them yet. Never had them before.
ive had all but the second (which id never even heard off!) i will have to try it now. I truly love veggies!
thanks
i love leeks! mustard greens are great raw in salad...i love their pepperyness. it's not proper etiquette to eat the garnish on your plate? since when? i always eat the garnish on my plate if it's in good shape! i've not eaten much endive or fava beans...should aim to try more!
If we eat up our veggies we'd have none of these horrible diseases!
