Yezen, i appreciate your input but i have to disagree with you about peeling the fava beans...If they are fresh and in season then the peel is very soft and almost transparent you do not need to get rid of them, but if the fava beans are not in season and they have tough peel i think you should peel them. after all the peel adds to its nutritional value, its all good fiber!
