Broad Improved Long Pod beans are quite distinct from other beans; the upright plants bear 7″ pods, containing 5 or 6 big flat oblong beans that are used in the green shell or dry stage. Cooked fresh or as a winter shell bean, they have a distinctive nutty flavor. Try using favas to make hummus or falafel. 85 days from transplant. OP. Photo courtesy of Harris Seed.
Care: Plant 4-6“ apart in rows 18-36“ apart in full sun. Sturdy bush plants grow 4′ tall; may require support.
