70-85 Days to maturity. Vicia faba. Organic Fava Bean Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, organic, open-pollinated, heirloom, bush, shell, fava bean. Suitable for growing in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. Also called Broad bean, Horse bean, Field bean, or Windsor bean, fava beans are one of the oldest cultivated plants, with origins tracing back to the Mediterranean region around 6,000 BCE. Fava beans are celebrated for their rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture, making them a gourmet favorite. They are incredibly versatile. These are much smaller seeded than the traditional English broad bean. The smaller seed lends itself well to use as a sprouting bean or a microgreen. They can be eaten fresh, dried, or even as a cover crop. Likewise, they are excellent in salads, soups, and stews and can be pureed for dips.
