The experiment was carried out in the years 2002-03. The aim of this study was to compare the biological value of three large seed (Bachus, Basta, Windsor Bialy) and three small seed cultivars of faba bean (Orlik, Jupiter and Nowo). The amount of analysed in the experiment chemical compounds was for the tested cultivars on average: dry matter - 17.76 percent, total soluble sugars - 1.21 percent, starch - 13.49 percent, crude fibre - 0.32 percent, vitamin C - 29.77 mg/100 g and total chlorophyll - 61.27 mcg/kg. Among the tested cultivars the highest amount of dry matter, starch, saccharose, total soluble sugars, total fibre, vitamin C and chlorophyll was obtained for cultivar Orlik. It was found that cultivar Nowo contained the highest amount of reducing sugars, but the lowest of all the rest from tested in the experiment components. Large seed cultivars of faba bean were characterized by high amount of vitamin C (on average 30.25 mg/100 g)
