Broad beans should not be eaten with snails

Broad beans are also known as Hu beans, Buddha beans, Sichuan beans, Japanese beans, and Luohan beans. Broad beans were not originally produced in China. According to legend, Zhang Qian brought broad beans back from the Western Regions. It is generally believed that broad beans originated in southwest Asia and northern Africa. The earliest existing discovery was in the ancient city of Jericho in Palestine, where the remains of broad beans dating back 6,000 years were found.

One thing that makes broad beans famous cannot be ignored, that is Pixian Douban, a kind of Douban produced in Pixian, Chengdu, Sichuan. It is an indispensable seasoning in many Sichuan dishes such as boiled beef, mapo tofu, hot pot soup base, etc. Because Sichuan people love broad beans, the production of broad beans in Sichuan is the highest. Broad beans can of course be used to make soy sauce. You can also make many different types of snacks such as orchid beans, strange-flavored broad beans, etc. Some people cannot eat broad beans because some people lack an enzyme. The broad bean toxin in broad beans will destroy human hemoglobin and cause anemia. Commonly known as favism.
