Salty Fava Beans!
At Urban Crunch, we’re always on the hunt for bold, crave worthy flavours that bring serious crunch to your snack game. And guess what? We’ve just dropped a brand new flavour.
Introducing our Salty Fava Beans, the latest powerhouse addition to the Urban Crunch family and these unique beans and flavour match perfectly with the rest of our snack family.
Why is Fava so popular?
Fava beans (also known as broad beans) aren’t just another trendy snack, they’re protein packed, naturally high in fiber, and delicious when roasted to crispy perfection. We’ve taken these humble beans and given them a salty twist that hits all the right tastebuds: bold, simple, and seriously snackable. However, it’s not just their protein packed goodness and distinctive flavour that make them stand out! They are very versatile in cooking and stand as cultural significance in many cuisines like many Middle Easten and Mediterranean dishes, they are also commonly used in soups, porridges, curries and salads, as well as in flour for baking.
Whether you’re powering through your workday, hitting the gym, or just need something to munch on during your Netflix binge, our Salty Fava Beans are the ideal way to go. They’re light enough to keep you going but tasty enough to crush those snack cravings.
Short History of Fava Beans
Fava is the ‘original old world bean’ and there’s evidence of fava bean cultivation as long as 10,000 years ago in the fertile crescent (crescent shaped region in Western Asia). They were one of the first crops to be introduced to Britain by the New Stone Age farmers around 5,000 years ago but were still not very common. The beans remained a staple in peasant’s diets through the medieval period as a protein rich food that could be stored and eaten all year around, however as farming became more productive and meat became more readily available, beans started to fall out of favour in some regions including the UK. But the fava bean is now sold widely all over the world and companies like our own Urban Crunch have been producing popular nuts and beans since 2018 and knew it was time to bring in the classic Fava Bean to cinemas, offices and shops all over the UK.
6 Reasons Why We Think You Will Love Them
1. They are 100% plant based which means that these snacks are made entirely from ingredients derived from plants, excluding any animal products or derivatives. The benefits of our salty snacks being plant based are if you regularly eat our salty fava beans, you can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve digestive health, increase nutrient intake and a low environmental impact.
2. There are no artificial nasties! When you choose ‘no artificial nasties’ snacks you are essentially prioritising whole, unprocessed foods over those heaving with artificial ingredients, preservatives and added sugars. This approach promotes healthier eating habits, reducing risk of weight gain, nutrient deficiencies and negative health outcomes.
3. They are high in protein and fibre which means they are beneficial to your body in many ways, such as muscle growth and repair, as protein is essential for building and repairing muscles, making it important for athletes and anyone involved in physical activities. It is also helpful in weight management as protein helps increase the feeling of fullness which can reduce over calorie intake. Protein and fibre are known for bone health and boosting your metabolism, with adequate protein supporting bone health and reducing the risk of fractures, protein will also increase your metabolic rate which helps your body burn more calories.
4. Our snacks are sustainably sourced which reduces environmental impacts, supports local communities and improves health and well being. At Urban Crunch we prioritise ethical sourcing practices, reducing our carbon footprint and offer a wide range of nuts and other delicious healthy snacks.
5. This new essential snack is ridiculously tasty! Let’s break down why people find them so good. First of all, the natural flavour of the beans combined with the addition of salt creates an exclusive texture and crunch. The salt is a flavour enhancer to the slightly nutty and earthy flavoured bean (this snack doesn’t contain nuts and is suitable to anyone with a nut allergy). By roasting or cooking these beans, you can further increase the savoury taste and add to make the perfect crunch.
6. These little guys are roasted til golden and seasoned with just the right amount of salt to bring out their naturally nutty flavour. The result? A crunchy, clean snack that tastes indulgent, without any of the guilt.
