Details: 

Broad beans (Vicia faba) are a flat, oval green bean that grows inside a big, inedible pod. Each bean has a translucent skin that should be removed before usage, especially mature beans.

The mini whole Fava bean has been a mainstay of the Eastern Mediterranean cuisine since 6000 B.C. Fava beans have been used in Chinese cooking since around 5,000 B.C., and are particularly popular in Szechuan, where they are known as "Szechuan beans."

Mini whole Fava beans are now frequently grown as a cover crop for silage and for human food. While the plant can tolerate extreme weather, it loves cold, temperate environments. Fruiting in mid-spring on the temperate East and West Coasts of the United States, it is typically regarded as a sign of coming warmer weather.

Mini whole Fava beans are used in many different dishes around the world. In season, the beans are eaten raw in salads, dips, sautés, pasta dishes, and soups. Dried fava beans can be utilized in similar ways.
