Broad Windsor Fava Bean
Broad Windsor is the classic heirloom fava bean — a cool-season legume that produces large, well-filled pods bursting with plump, creamy green beans and a rich, earthy flavor unlike anything else in the vegetable garden. Young favas are tender enough to eat raw with pecorino; more mature beans shine braised in olive oil and garlic, tossed with pasta, or pureed into a silky dip. A staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and one of the most ancient cultivated vegetables in the world.
