Favas are a sort of interesting crop, as they appear to be the sort of flipside to most of the transatlantic crop movement of the 15-1600's. While a lot of New World crops were entering the European diet (maize, common beans, squash pumpkins, potatoes etc.), favas were being brough back the other way and entering the New World diets, especially in Peru (to the point where I now think there are probably more varieties of Fava bean to be found in South America than there still are around Europe.)
