Fava Bean Seeds - Aquadulce

Vicia faba Give these fava beans a long, cool season and they’ll produce loads of 12- to 16-inch long pods full of huge beans with rich flavor and a wonderful chewy texture. In warm climates, they are often planted in fall and overwintered for spring harvest, as they can weather temperatures down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Gardeners in cooler climates may plant them as soon as the soil is workable in spring for a late spring harvest. The beans can be cooked and eaten at the green stage, or as a dry bean. The three-foot plants may benefit from staking or trellising. 28 gram packet contains a minimum of 16 seeds.
