Re.FAVA BEANS ,In N.Z. we grow broad beans aa a winter vege.-spring.On a
packet Isee VICIA FABA in brackets.Have made inquiries & no-one seems to
know of fava beans.Anyway these grow average 1.5 meter high and have pods
about 25 cm long with white beans with distinctive flavour. When these pods
reach about 15 cm they can be cut up whole with imature beans inside and
cooked. This way they are not so strong and hopefully have more dopamine. Be
interested to hear if this is the right fava bean.
