The ProSpecieRara-“Bergackerbohne” is suitable for a wide range of dishes. Like peas and chickpeas, they belong to the legume family.
Basically, the beans can be used in the same way as chickpeas. They are highly aromatic and taste slightly nutty. Thanks to their high protein content of 25 to 30 percent and many vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, they are also a valued food in vegan cuisine and provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety.
Until the 17th century, the “Bergackerbohnen” was an important dietary staple in Central Europe, until it was displaced by the potato, among other things.
In Italian cuisine, it is also known as fava bean.
