Hmmm, i've never seen such small and white fava beans - all the favas
i've seen are much larger. These sound a lot like the lady cream peas
i saw. But i don't really know... I'll have to go and look in the
freezer of my local Middle Eastern markets.
My canned fava beans are a greenish-brownish color and around the
size of a finger joint. The dried favas i've seen are also brown or
greenish brown. And fresh favas are green.
But there could be other varieties i'm unfamiliar with. Like i said,
i'll have to do some exploring...
