Hulled broad beans are the legumes that provide the greatest amount of protein. They require soaking in cold water for about eight hours.

Decorticated broad beans can be the protagonists of first courses with rich and nutritious flavours, such as mixed legume soups and pasta.

In Sicily, a typical dish of the culinary tradition is macco di fave secche , a sort of soup with an intense and unique flavour.

Benefits

Decorticated broad beans help to promote the proper functioning of the intestine by providing a good quantity of fibre, which can also help to combat cardiovascular diseases and diabetes by controlling the intestinal absorption of cholesterol and sugars, thus helping to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Terravecchia

The Terravecchia family, producers of our Decorticated Broad Beans , has been known in Sicily since the 1950s for various entrepreneurial activities, among which the production of chickpea flour stands out, an essential ingredient of the famous Palermo ''panelle''.

For thirty-five years now, in the new role of selectors, packers and distributors of dried legumes, it has represented a reality in the Sicilian distribution panorama, proudly carried forward by a new generation of women, with the support and experience of family members.

From the idea of ​​selecting and re-evaluating the excellence of Sicilian agricultural production, which risked disappearing forever, the ''sun and taste of Sicily'' line was born : a selection that on a gastronomic level can represent this wonderful island in the world through its smells, its fragrances and flavors.
