List of Legumes for Those With Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Deficiency and Favism

Fava beans are contraindicated for people with G6PD Deficiency, however, many people also react to varying degrees to many or all legumes. Many times the reaction is not a full blown hemolysis where hospitalization is required, but does cause hemolysis of a lesser degree. Over time, these smaller hemolysis events can lead to other more serious complications or related disorders. This list is provided as an aid to those wishing to abstain from all legumes. If you would like more information about legumes and g6pd deficiency, Plants Of Life, Plants Of Death has in interesting discussion.
