== Fava Santorinis==

A traditional Greek product
Fava Santorinis (Santorini Lathyrus Clymenum) is a traditional Greek product that recently added to the European Union's products with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). The peculiar ecosystem that was created by the volcanic explosions on Santorini island, the volcanic ash, the cellular soil and the combination of humidity created by the sea and the drought make that beans unique. For 3500 years residents on the island have been growing their own fava beans. From generation to generation farmers are learning ways and methods to grow this crop. When weather conditions are good farmers on the island can reap about 80 kilos of beans per acre (0.1 hectares).It is a vulnerable crop that it can be destroyed by strong winds that blow away the flowers before they can yield the pea, by drought, by a sudden heat wave almost straight away.That reason as well as the fact that its production is limited makes it an expensive crop that costs 700 Euros per acre.When is ready for sale the cost for consumers is about 9-10 Euros per kilo.
