The season is very short, so I'd suggest > buying up a bunch, flashing them, and putting them in the freezer. And also remember that a certain small percentage of people (usually of Mediterranean ancestry) lack an enzyme which results, when consuming fava beans, in a serious blood disorder "Favism".
