What it is

Fava bean protein is a plant-based protein derived from fava beans, also known as broad beans. The beans are processed to extract and concentrate their protein content, often resulting in a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fava bean protein to boost the protein content of foods. It can also function as a binder or emulsifier. It is commonly found in plant-based meat alternatives, protein bars, and baked goods.

Health notes

Fava bean protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated proteins from legumes, but specific evaluations for fava bean protein's safety at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized. There is no widespread controversy regarding its consumption at normal levels.

Allergen info

Fava beans are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
