Broad beans (uncooked)

Broad beans, also known as fava beans, are large, flat green legumes encased in a thick pod, with a mildly sweet, earthy flavour. Fresh beans are typically shelled and often peeled of their tougher outer skin before cooking, while dried beans are soaked and simmered. They are used in salads, purées, and stews across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking.
