Among all the vegetables that we can find at this time of year there is some one that very often we tend to underestimate: broad beans. Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, potassium and fiber, beans can be used in cooking, beauty treatments and gardening. The time has therefore come to reveal how thanks to this spring legume we will have iron and plant health that the neighbors envy.
Broad beans in nutrition and wellness treatments
Broad beans have an incredible amount of positive effects on our health. We can use them to combat constipation and for a low-calorie diet, to lower cholesterol and blood glucose and to combat water retention. Be careful though. We must eat them fresh in order not to lose most of the vitamins contained in the fruit.
Alternatively, we can use bean curd and the fluff from the pods to create skin creams. By mixing the flour with warm milk we will have a fantastic ointment to eliminate skin blemishes and spots that form after exposure to the sun. The fluff, on the other hand, can be applied gently on the skin to revive the complexion and to clean it of impurities.
Thanks to this spring legume we will have iron and plant health that the neighbors envy: we create a fantastic fertilizer.
Few people know that the husks of the beans and the pods themselves can become an unparalleled natural fertilizer. Let’s avoid throwing away the scraps and after having chopped them let’s put them in jars or in the garden.
In a few days we will see extraordinary results.
Broad beans have the incredible property of capturing the nitrogen present in the air and fixing it in the ground. That nitrogen that plants will use to synthesize proteins and grow strong and lush.
If “thanks to this spring vegetable we will have iron and plant health that the neighbors envy” it was useful we also recommend “a quarter of an hour and a few euros are enough to make this seasonal fruit a spectacular and dietetic first course”.
