Al Wadi Foul Moudammas - Fava Beans in Brine, 14-Ounce (Pack of 12)

Great brand and cheaper than the store. And of course nothing beats home delivery! You need 2-3 cans for a 4 people (breakfast staple in our house) so don't worry about buying bulk.Very easy to prepare. You can either cook with olive oil, lemon, cumin and dry coriander or sautee some garlic, add beans, olive oil chopped tomatoes and some parsley. Mash all, some or none depending on your preference. Serve with pita bread.

I received them today in the post; and IMMEDIATELY made ful medames (or however else you would transliterate it). I added lots of garlic, toasted cumin, red chilli powder, tahini, lemon and a nice olive oil. Finished with a hard boiled egg and some coriander leaves. And scoffed the lot down! No need for bread even, it just tastes wonderful on its own. Slightly bitter, creamy, and delicious! And infinitely easier than soaking and boiling down fava beans....Im too lazy for that, unfortunately. Im also on a budget food-wise, so this will really go a long way in helping me make tasty (and healthy) but inexpensive meals. Reminds me of why South Asians have a love affair with lentils! Enjoy!

The beans themselves were fine, but the grand majority of the cans came in really dented. Moreover, some of the cans came with a weird substance/powder on top. I decided not to risk eating from these cans, botulism and what not. Fava beans are hard to come by, especially in your neighborhood mega-mart, which is why I thought ordering them through amazon would be easier. Big mistake!

Delicious. It tastes really great. I was hesitant to buy it because the beans are small but they actually taste better than the bigger ones.The way I do it. I open the can; pour some of its water out; heat the can on the stove for 15 minutes on low heat; pour the beans in a bowl; crush the beans using a fork; and then add olive oil, crushed hot pepper, and sometimes I like it with Tahina. Of course, I eat it as a dip with tortilla bread.

ALL the 12 cans arrived with a dent in the side. I was hesitant to open the first one. The contents looked OK so I heated a small sample and tasted. It was as good as expected. I have now opened a second can with the same results. Evidently the dents have not interfered with the quality of the product.

I love that we can order these on Amazon they’re very hard to find if there isn’t a good Middle Eastern store locally. This is a great brand I would only say that sometimes the cams come dented so hopefully they’ll pay a little bit more attention to that.

In the UK, fava beans are called broad beans. Fresh, they are just about my favorite vegetable. Canned, broad beans retain their green color and the faintly metallic bite that distinguishes them from other vegetables. These fava beans are brown and cooked past the point of structural integrity. They taste OK is a sweetish, bland sort of chick pea-like way, but I can't imagine cooking these in stews or roasting them the way I would broad beans.Hey ho.

The quality is good and price is competitive. I wouldn't buy the more expensive offers for similar products.Update : wanted to buy more but the price has DOUBLED , talk about high inflation !!. not buying it at the new price
