As far as I've read, the problem with broad beans and MAOI's is not just tyramine content, but in fact also a significant content of levo-dopa, which could conceivably also cause the same kind of hypertensive crises, since dopamine is a precursor to norepinephrine. Can anyone confirm this?
The articleCowpea seems to directly contradict the statement here that all pre-Columbian European references to beans are toVicia. Anybody have any thoughts on this?Pekinensis 17:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I have noticed that parts of the first paragraph have been copied verbatim from the bookThe Vegetable & Herb Expert by Dr D.G.Hessayon (ISBN 0-903-50546-0).
The part that I noticed was exactly the same was the third paragraph of the introduction. The rest of the introduction is clearly paraphrasing the passage from the book.
I'm new to this and so I'm not sure what needs to be done. It seems a shame to delete manifestly interesting and useful information, but on the other hand it is passing off Dr Hessayon's work as original.
Any suggestions?Moormand
Fava bean is an extremely common name for this bean, even if not in Britain. Just google it. I think it is reasonable to move the article toVicia faba, but to delete all but one use of the term "Fava bean", even to the extent of altering a quote, is really too much. --WormRunner |Talk 17:15, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I have lived in the American South for over 60 years, and cannot recall anyone's ever using the termfava bean. I did not know what they were until I looked them up herein, and am still not certain if Lima beans are favas.— Precedingunsigned comment added by2602:306:CF99:1470:C109:64E4:299F:BA97 (talk)22:03, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Capitalizing the words Broad Bean, etc. looks very odd--it gives it the appearance of a proper noun. Does anyone object to switching over to a consistent lowercase style instead, as is typical of other biological entries?Scentoni19:36, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
about pythagoras and beans look also at history ofvegetarianism, it's regarded to be part of his version of vegetarianism. --fs19:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Broad beans are generally boiled in water where I come from. I always assumed this is the typical way of cooking them. This page gives the impression that using them cooked is only done in Thailand...—The precedingunsigned comment was added byFroggienation (talk •contribs)20:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
I removed the following text and re-worded some of the rest of the Health issues section to cover the material:
I'm assuming this is a (vague and perhaps slightly wrong, with respect to pod versus bean) reference tofavism. But if this is in fact something distinct, please provide sources.Kingdon21:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The fluffy inside surface of the pod is, in my experience, incredibly effective in seeing off warts and verrucas. By taping a piece over my finger each night for a week or so I was able to get rid of not only a wart on the treated finger but also several verrucas which suggests the effect is systemic. My brother had a refractory verruca that had survived repeated liquid nitrogen burnings that cleared up with the broad bean pod approach. Something of a miracle cure.

"(where their name means "open-mouth nut")"That statement is incorrect... it originally is kai-xin-guo, which actually means pistachios...—Precedingunsigned comment added byAbagraba (talk •contribs)03:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My daughter suffers from Hemoglobin H Disease, AKA Alpha Thallasemia -- we have been told she must avoid fava beans for similar reasons as those with favism. Shouldn't that be listed here, too?—Precedingunsigned comment added byTimhoustontx (talk •contribs)23:40, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
* In the 1991 filmThe Silence of the Lambs,Hannibal Lecter mentions that he once ate the liver of a census taker "with some fava beans and a niceChianti." This is Lecter's most famous quote. As apsychiatrist, he would know that he had named three of the "forbidden foods" for patients takingMAO inhibitors. The obvious conclusion is left unsaid.
In Germany, Vicia faba with bacon ("Dicke Bohnen mit Speck") is a traditional and still quite common dish in some regions, like Westphalia and the northern Rhine. --188.101.85.65 (talk)21:40, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is a flattish green legume widely sold throughout markets in South Asia and the Middle East, often labeled "pappadi". I don't find much on Google searches under this name, although it brings up "papdi" which I'm guessing is the same thing? The latter also refer to"+Indian+Flat+Beans". Are these all the same thing as Fava beans, or related to them? Are they different species? Where is the best place to mention these different terms in the article? Thanks.Benefac (talk)13:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This section should give the "days to maturity" as is routine for all food-producing garden plants. Is it a 90-day, 120-day, or 180-day plant?
The references to "overwintering" and planting in November in Italy further muddy the true cultivation information.Starhistory22 (talk)20:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
InHealth issues we have "Areas of origin of the bean correspond to malarial areas", but by looking atGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency it's clear that it's the deficiency that corresponds to malarial areas. The bean has been grown everywhere.Kortoso (talk)21:55, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that, but I haven't had a chance to fully check it out. It gave me a funny feeling when I first read it, like 'wut'?Bwtranch (talk)22:36, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
AlexanderVanLoon Yeah, I suppose that's better...I still don't like it though. That section has given me trouble all along. It needs to be filled out, but I haven't been able to find anything useful to put in there.Bwtranch (talk)22:47, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

| Good article, but from my perspective as a F&D users is that it needs more on culinary uses and some refs. --Warfreak 09:32, 11 June 2007 (UTC)Thank you for this information. I'm performing a bit of research for my mother who read an article about taking two cups of coffee and an amount of fava beans each day which can decrease the effects of Parkinson's disease.97.116.6.220 (talk)11:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC) T.

Does the offending vicine occur only in fava beans? if not, are there other legumes that may trigger the hemolytic attacks occasioned by deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase?— Precedingunsigned comment added by184.148.104.170 (talk)21:46, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The question posted above in "Pop Culture" is extremely important for me to know within the next 23 hours (I live within Central European Time (CET)) in order to get the job of my dreams (the top priority I have in my life right now):
"Hannibal has eaten fava beans along with his victims face. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.163.152.82 (talk) 02:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)."
Please answer this question! It would be best if it was within the next 23 hours.
