Broad Windsor Fava Bean
is a delicious edible bean variety that will also support our pollinators. This tall growing yet compact annual heirloom plant produces clusters of white flowers with dark purple lashes that mature into oblong edible bean pods. The young pods can be eaten fresh right off the vine, but many people prefer to shuck them and fry in oil or mash into a hummus alternative. This plant also fixes large amounts of nitrogen into the soil, making it a great regenerative choice for depleted soils. Depending on environmental conditions and plant maturity, your plant may produce 15 to 50 Fava Bean pods.
