Vicia faba, also known as the broad bean, fava bean, faba bean, field bean, bell bean, English bean, horse bean, Windsor bean, pigeon bean and tic(k) bean, is a species of flowering plant in the vetch and pea family Fabaceae.

The origin of this legume is obscure, but it had been cultivated in the Middle East for 8,000 years before it spread to Western Europe.

Fava beans have been found in the earliest human settlements.

They probably originated in the Near East during the Neolithic Age and by the Bronze Age had spread to Northern Italy.

They have been found in lakeside settlements in Switzerland and in Britain at Glastonbury.

Remains are reported to have been found in Egyptian tombs.

In Egypt, the beans were considered commoner food and were shunned by the upper classes.

Fava beans were cultivated by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

In ancient Rome, they were used in funeral rites.

Like all priests of the Orphic and Eleusinian mysteries who were forbidden from ever touching, mentioning, or looking at Fava beans, Pythagoras forbade his followers from doing the same and some claimed that it was due to his belief that fava beans contained the souls of the dead.
