Broad Bean

Robust and nutritious, the Broad Bean, also known as Fava Bean, is a staple crop in vegetable gardens worldwide. This hardy and cold-tolerant legume produces large, flat pods that encase tender and flavorful beans. Gardeners appreciate the Broad Bean for its ability to enrich the soil with nitrogen, making it an excellent choice for crop rotation. These beans can be enjoyed fresh when young or allowed to mature for drying and use in soups and stews. Broad Beans are a fantastic source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a valuable addition to a balanced and healthy diet. Gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet rewarding crop will find the Broad Bean a gratifying choice that delivers both culinary and soil-enriching benefits.
