Why Faba Bean?
What are Faba beans?
Faba beans, also known as fava beans or broad beans, are a type of legume in the “Fabaceae” family.
These versatile beans grow in many parts of the world, including Australia, where they thrive in winter. Faba bean crops are a big part of sustainable agriculture as they actually improve soil health and reduce the need for synthetic fertilisers.
Nutritious
Faba beans are 88% protein, rich in essential minerals, and promote gut health with high fibre.
Sustainable
Faba beans are an excellent nitrogen-fixing crop, enhancing the soil rather than depleting it.
Good for you. Good for the planet.
Faba bean protein is an excellent plant-based option.
It’s versatile, nutritious and eco-friendly. Suitable for athletes, vegans, or anyone who values high-quality, sustainable food choices.
Proudly Australian Grown
Most vegan protein powders are made from cheaper, imported pea protein, which usually means they originate from countries with lower production standards. Our faba bean protein is grown, produced and packaged right here in Australia.
Nude Plant is processed in a world-class facility in regional Victoria, ensuring the highest quality control standards are met at every stage of production. By choosing Nude Plant, you are not only benefitting from a superior product, you are also supporting local farmers and regional communities.
Sustainability In Every Seed
Faba beans are a nitrogen fixing crop. They have the unique ability to convert atmospheric (N2) into a biologically available form for plants. Since they enrich the soil naturally, faba bean crops do not depend on any fertilisers. That makes them perfect for rotational farming and cuts the cost of cultivation drastically.
After faba beans are harvested, the remaining plant matter can be composted, which further nourishes the soil without the need for chemical fertilisers. This eco-friendly practice helps lower the overall impact of agriculture, making faba beans a great choice for those looking to support sustainable farming practices.
Full On Goodness
Faba beans are not only great for biodiversity, they also offer a wealth of nutritional benefits. They are 88% protein (one of the highest protein concentrations) and have good amounts of folate, manganese, copper, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, thiamine and zinc. These minerals are crucial for a range of functions in the body, from supporting your immune system to maintaining strong bones and producing energy. Faba beans are good for your gut too, as they naturally have a high fibre content.
Nude Plant faba bean protein powder comes packed with these nutrients making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to increase their protein intake naturally for muscle building, weight loss, cholesterol and blood-sugar management, or just for general health.
A Taste That Lets Everything Else Shine
Faba bean protein powder leads the way when it comes to taste (or lack of) and texture. It is completely neutral or unflavoured, unlike other vegan protein powders which can have a strong or earthy taste. Faba bean protein is smooth and creamy. It doesn’t have that gritty chalkiness of other plant-based proteins. In this way, it’s similar to whey protein without the dairy. It’s perfect for those wanting a high-quality, neutral plant protein that can be used in any recipe.
