Fava comes from the lathyrus plant, which has been cultivated by humans for hundreds of years. It is a legume with a light and sweet taste, deeply connected to Greece, summer, and fasting periods.

This dish is commonly served as an appetizer but can also be enjoyed as a main course, like all legumes. It is rich in proteins, minerals, and trace elements. Fava can shine in both traditional and gourmet dishes alike.
