Fava Beans

About
Also called Broad beans. Like peas, they are encased in a large pod. Fava beans have a very short season in the spring when they are sweet and not starchy. Picked young enough, they can be shelled and eaten raw, skin and all. When they are older and the skin is no longer bright green, they must be skinned.

Availability
Early Spring.
