Ianto's Yellow Fava Bean - Part 1 - Flowers

Ianto's Yellow Fava Bean Flowers

"From the discoverer Alan M. Kapuler PhD of Peace Seeds"

One day some years ago, Ianto Evans returned from Guatemala with a bag of fava beans part of which he shared with us. While collecting the tan seeds from one of the plants, one of the pods had several bright yellow seeds. The next season they were planted and bred true. Some years later, there was an article about Israeli researchers who found elevated levels of dopamine in the seeds and suggested that they would be useful food for folks suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
