Fava bean

Fava beans (also known as fava beans) are versatile crops. They can have a positive effect on the agricultural ecosystem, for example through nitrogen fixation as described below.

Like other legumes, fava beans can actively absorb atmospheric nitrogen and naturally convert it into nutritionally valuable essential amino acids. This can reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and thereby contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions as well as reduced nitrate contamination of groundwater.

With proper crop rotation, fava beans can positively influence soil health and the quality of the following crop. A positive side effect is that fava beans reduce production costs for farmers by requiring less mineral fertilizer, energy and pesticides. Thus, fava beans simultaneously increase efficiency and reduce resource consumption. In agriculture, they are therefore often used in the form of catch crops as a soil improvement measure.

Visionary coast

The idea for the cultivation and development of our premium field bean products was born in the heart of an important bean-growing region directly on the German North Sea coast.

Premium quality

Close to the sea, our beans ripen in perfect growing conditions, and we constantly stay in touch with the producers. Further processing in Bremen also takes place at the highest level of quality standards.

Added value

Through further processing that is highly focused, we are opening up new areas of uses for the field bean.
