CALIFORNIA GARDEN FAVA Beans 400g (MEDAMMAS Premium) Pack of 3

Product Information

Foul mudammas, pronounced "fool mudammas," is a popular vegan dish throughout the Middle East and the Levant, but it is actually considered Egypt's national dish. You can also make foul mudammas from scratch, starting with dry fava beans, that's how my parents used to make it.

Like many beans and legumes, fava beans are an excellent source of fiber and provide protein and iron. You can call it foul for short! Foul mudammas is best served with warm pita bread. You can add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh green onions and olives to go along.I love adding a good bunch of fresh parsley and some diced tomatoes on top. Some people like adding chopped onions, but I prefer to serve green onions on the side.

Foul mudammas is a meal on its own, so you certainly don't need to add much else. But, you can turn it into a big Middle Eastern vegan feast by adding falafel and sides like tahini sauce (which you can easily drizzle on top); hummus; or baba ganoush! But the bold flavors in this simple fava bean stew come from a spicy sauce made with crushed garlic, chili peppers and fresh lemon juice. In 1989 we built the most modern bean processing facility in the Middle East. Only the finest selection of bean crops, and best quality spices are used to produce our famous bean delicacies which are exported to more than twenty countries around the world. Our fava beans were and still are our main product line but over the past years, we have expanded our range. We have introduced over 200 items to the market. Our tuna is now one of the best in the market and we maintain significant market share positions across most markets in the Middle East. Our Ready-to-Eat appetizer line includes favorites such as our Stuffed Vine Leaves and our Giant Beans in Tomato Sauce along with other authentic recipes. Our product range also includes great canned and bottled fruits, vegetables, juices, olives, olive oil, salad dressings and many other items.Fava beans are one of the oldest domesticated food legumes. References to favas occur in both the Talmud and the Mishna, indicating they have been part of the Middle Eastern diet since at least since the 4th century. Along with falafel and koshari, foul mudammas--also known as ful medames--is the daily grub of the Egyptian people. A humble but tasty vegan meal made of fava beans and served for late breakfast, lunch or even dinner. In 2018 we celebrated our one billionth can produced!
