Fuel with Fava – More Protein Than the Rest
The result: a cleaner-tasting bean that’s consistently 5%–7% higher in protein than other varieties. Meaning you can turn it into virtually anything—from meat substitutes to baked goods to snackables to ice creams—and of course, into a thriving bottom line.
A sustainable story built into every order.
Fava beans can fix upwards of 90% of their own nitrogen requirements, which means less industrial nitrogen fertilizer needs to be applied by farmers. Improving soil fertility reduces the use of chemical fertilizers for other crops on the farm. Lowering fertilizer requirements can give farmers a higher net return while producing less greenhouse gas emissions.
Once fava beans come off the field, they’re taken to Prairie Fava’s cleaning and processing facility. Focusing on the nutrition of the whole bean and the mindset that nothing goes to waste, we manufacture a variety of fava ingredients. Whole beans are dehulled to make splits. The creation of splits generates two co-products, hulls and grits. Grits are then ground into flour.
Fava beans are also contracted to be explicitly grown for Prairie Fava seed, then stored in preparation for next year’s season. All inputs go towards outputs, creating a vertically integrated operation.
Versatility that lets you compete
Fava beans give you the flexibility to create standout products in competitive categories—from snacks and baked goods to dairy alternatives and ready meals. With their naturally high protein, clean flavor, and functional fiber and starch, fava ingredients adapt easily to a variety of formats. Whether you're looking to boost nutrition, improve texture, or meet clean-label demands, fava offers the versatility to help your products perform—and win—in the market.
