Nutritional values

In this traditional Moroccan soup fava beans (also known as broad beans) contain large amounts of vitamin B6. This substance is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions throughout the body and also strengthens the immune system. The essential oils from the spices have a soothing effect and help to relieve gastrointestinal complaints.

The chickpeas and fava beans can be replaced with other legumes as desired: Lentils or kidney beans also go well with the stew.
