Comment

he Fava Beans is one of the most special and traditional products of Santorini. A kind of peas with yellow colour, this product comes from the fruit Lathyrus Clymenum and it is cultivated exclusively in Santorini and Anafi, a small island next to Santorini. The volcanic soil is probably the reason why this product is cultivated only in Santorini from all Greece and it is considered as the most traditional product of the island.
