Growing Fava Beans
Fava beans are one of the oldest crops that have been grown in the world. Dating back some 5000 years, these beans are very high in protein. There are a few steps to do before you can eat the beans. Open the pods by pulling the string along the spine of the bean. Place the
beans in boiling water for one minute. Next place the beans in cold ice water for 2 minutes. Finally, take the wax like coating off the beans. You can use the beans in salads, on toast or do what I do, sautee in olive oil for a few minutes with some garlic. Whatever way you prepare these wonderful beans they are sure to become a staple in your diet.
