Hazards Ingestion of fresh uncooked or partially cooked seeds can lead to development of a disease known as Favism, characterized by haemolytic anaemia, haemoglobinuria and jaundice. did you open these to take pictures of the seeds? Yes, Jewish food llaws (Kosher) prohibit it, just for that reason Not this time, ... Although, I have done it earlier many times before cooking. Yesterday, clicked it in Sabji Mandi just for the purpose of compiling Indian names for this plant. I do not like it's taste, so did not purchase. This variety is not list in either The Plant List Ver. 1.1, Catalogue of Life as well as POWO except as Faba major Desf. (syn. of Vicia faba L.) Broad bean is mostly written as Vicia faba only. I was going through some paper where var. major and var. minor was mentioned on the basis of seed shape and size. It was my mistake not to check at The Plant List or PoWO for the correctness. It may be considered only as Vicia faba cultivar. References: |
