Vica faba

A prolific English variety broad bean which is a great source of protein, Vitamins A & C and Fiber.

The plants have a bushy, compact growth habit, which makes them awesome for container growing. Each pod contains between 4 and 6 plump seeds.

The beans have a delicious nutty flavour. The dry beans are best used in soups and stews and the young and tender pods are delicious when sautéd in a little oil or butter.

The beautiful white flowers are also edible and great as a garnish.

Using Peaflo-Rhizobium bacteria when planting your broad bean seed is the most cost effective way of putting nitrogen fixing bacteria into your soil, creating healthier soil for a more productive harvest.
