Four segregants for testa color from the faba bean variety Polycarpe and a selection of white faba beans were tested both qualitatively and quantitatively for tannins. White seed testae were found to be tannin-free while colored testae contained tannins. The darker the testa color, the greater the polyphenol content. Tannin accumulation began early in seed development of Polycarpe faba beans
