It is about 3/4 to 1 inch in length. The Fava has an assertive, almost bitter earthy flavor and granular texture. The Fava can also be referred to as a 'faba', 'broad', 'horse', 'English', 'scotch', 'field rounded', or 'windsor' bean. This bean was once the only bean known to Europeans until the discovery of America. The Fava pedigree goes back to ancient Egypt as a staple in the diet of the pyramid builders and cultivation can be traced back to the bronze age in Switzerland and the iron age in Great Britain.
