Abstract

Recently traditional medicine has regained a vigorous hold over the modern health care therapeutics. Vicia faba (V. faba) a legume with medicinal properties has an outstanding production scale in approximately 58 countries and rating third in engenderment. Faba bean magnification is facilitated at any climatic and soil conditions. It functions as a precursor for dopamine a neurotransmitter and in the atmospheric nitrogen fixation thereby incrementing the soil fertility. The plant system is a reliable facile sensitive and efficient biological system. Despite its nutritional properties and medicinal values as noted in many countries including India V. faba is flouted from being cultivated as a major crop. This review article majorly fixates nutritional and medicinal properties thereby incrementing its future aspects in potential utilization in medicine and agriculture.
