HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

  When Aeschylus in his tragedies and Aristophanes in his comedies wanted to talk about an inferior food, they used the word fava! In terms of taste and appearance, however, the corresponding dish of fava beans in Ancient Greece was called ΄΄Etnos ΄΄ and was essentially legume porridge. In fact, there were beans from beans (υKyaminon etnos΄΄), from lentils ("fakion etnos") and of course from lathouri etnos ("wrong etnos"). Many things have changed over the years, peoples and cultures. As fava we now call only the one that comes from lathouri or from pea. And of course, its classification in the collective nutritional consciousness is not only inferior!
