Fava Beans

Please do not order more than 3 packets of any one variety, and no more than 40 packets total.

Fava beans, Vicia faba, are among the world's most ancient cultivated crops. Because fava beans are tolerant of cold temperatures they make a good nitrogen fixing cover crop during the winter months in the low desert. Fava beans are also very nutritious, and the fresh beans are one of the great flavors of spring.
