Broad beans should also be avoided by people who have digestive system problems, as they cause flatulence and excessive fermentation in the intestines.
Bloating and gas are caused by oligosaccharides, which are not digested or broken down by intestinal bacteria.
The ability to survive in such harsh climatic conditions and thus to take up water is related to the morphological and anatomical structure of the leaves.
Leaves have a layer of hairs on the surface, a high density of tissues, and a thick cuticle. The constriction of the stomata also affects the regulation of the plant's water economy.
