Bakilla - fava beans

Essence.
They are famous. There are Egyptian beans, which are well known, as well as Nabataean and Indian beans. The Nabatean ones are the most astringent, while the Egyptian ones are more moist and less nutritious. Fresh beans generate more surplus, and if they were not digested so slowly and did not swell so much, they would not be inferior in good nutritional value to barley gruel; on the contrary, the blood generated by them is thicker and stronger.

Choice.
The best of them are thick and white, untouched by the wormhole; the worst are fresh; they are improved by long soaking and good cooking. The beans are eaten with pepper, salt, asafoetida, satar and the like, seasoned with oils.

Nature.
Close to balance, but more prone to coldness and dryness. There is also excess moisture in beans, especially when fresh. Moreover, fresh beans can be considered cold and wet. Those same doctors who attribute coldness to the second degree to beans are exaggerating.

Actions and properties.
The beans are lightly peeled and heavily plumped. However, if you boil them properly, changing the water several times, but not to the same extent as barley gruel, their swelling property will disappear. If the beans are peeled, boiled, and then simmered in a pot without stirring, their swelling properties are also reduced. Roasted beans have little swelling but are slower to digest.

Beans boiled in their skins will swell a lot, but flour made from them will probably swell less. Nabataean beans are more astringent, and their peel is even more astringent; they don't cleanse. Egyptian beans are more astringent than all other types of beans. They cleanse and produce loose meat and thick juices. Hippocrates believed that they are very nutritious and maintain health.
