About Prairie Fava
Plant-based lifestyles are viewed as the pathway to good health and the answer to future food security and climate change. As the food industry continues to explore plant-based innovations, we must ensure that these options are not only healthy but sustainable.
Fava beans, like other pulses, are a critical component of conventional and organic farming because they increase the activity of microbial biomass in the soil. This improves the soil’s structure and water retention capacity while also reducing wind and water erosion.
Fava beans can fix upwards of 90% of their own nitrogen requirements, which means less industrial nitrogen fertilizer needs to be applied by farmers. Improving soil fertility reduces the use of chemical fertilizers for other crops on the farm. Lowering fertilizer requirements can give farmers a higher net return while producing less greenhouse gas emissions.
Once fava beans come off the field, they’re taken to Prairie Fava’s cleaning and processing facility. Focusing on the nutrition of the whole bean and the mindset that nothing goes to waste, we manufacture a variety of fava ingredients. Whole beans are dehulled to make splits. The creation of splits generates two co-products, hulls and grits. Grits are then ground into flour.
Fava beans are also contracted to be explicitly grown for Prairie Fava seed, then stored in preparation for next year’s season. All inputs go towards outputs, creating a vertically integrated operation.
