The faba bean (Vicia faba minor) is an ancient, cultivated, small-seeded relative of the garden broadbean (V. faba major). It is thought to have originated in west or central Asia. The faba bean is grown mainly in Europe where it is primarily used as a livestock feed, however, it is an important winter crop for human consumption in the Middle East. 4, record 1, English, - faba%20bean

La féverole (Vicia faba) est une légumineuse qui présente une assez grande variabilité morphologique (poids, forme, coloration de la graine, etc.). D'après la grosseur de la graine, on distingue classiquement trois sous-espèces : la féverole à petits grains (Vicia faba minor), la féverole à grains moyens (V. faba equina) et la féverole à gros grains, ou fève (V. faba major). 5, record 1, French, - f%C3%A9verole%20%C3%A0%20petits%20grains
