Amino acid composition and protein content of flours from V. faba major, equina, minor and paucijuga were determined. The amino acid composition in the four groups, was quite similar. Protein content was significantly higher in V. faba paucijuga and V. faba minor than in larger seeded groups. Protein content was positively correlated with arginine and negatively with the others.
