Broad beans were already known in the Bronze Age thanks to their nutritional properties. Its origins can be traced back to Asian countries. From there, they came to influence the nutrition of Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Until the last century, these legumes represented the main source of vitamins in many countries of Southern Italy. Furthermore, like all foods rich in dietary fiber, they have useful properties to reduce the level of bad cholesterol in the blood, thus protecting arteries and heart from cardiovascular diseases. The presence of fibers stimulates intestinal activity, facilitating the elimination of toxins and waste. Vitamin C protects the body from disease and promotes the absorption of iron. Broad beans also contain iron and zinc. The former strengthens the immune system and the latter supports hormonal growth and development.
