Broad Green Beans

Description

Broad green beans, also known as fava beans or horse beans, are flat, broad pods containing large, tender beans. They have a slightly earthy, sweet flavor and a firm texture. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like iron, broad green beans offer several health benefits, including aiding digestion and supporting heart health. They are commonly used in soups, stews, salads, and as a side dish. The beans can be cooked fresh, frozen, or dried, with the outer pod typically discarded before consumption.
