Details

Sourced from the fertile Prespes lake region of northern Greece, these yellow split peas are a cornerstone of traditional Greek cuisine. The unique microclimate and rich soil of Prespes create legumes with exceptional creaminess and flavor.

In Greece, yellow fava is most famous for fava dip—a smooth, savory spread enjoyed with olive oil, herbs, and lemon. Beyond this classic dish, it is versatile in soups, casseroles, and vegetarian cooking, offering a nutritious source of plant-based protein, fiber, and minerals.

    Great for appetizer

    We love to make a hummus type dip with these small halved beans. Tasty as an appetizer.

    Thrilled to find this!

    Just got back from Greece where we enjoyed “fava” with almost every meal on the islands. Now we can re-create it at home.

    Wonderful

    Love the pureed fava like they make it in Greece. We use the recipe with sauteed onions and balsamic vinegar with toasted pinenuts–absolutely divine!
