Fava bean or broad beans are a springtime crop that is a favorite across the world. Fava beans grow in big, bumpy green pods on an easy-to-grow flowering pea plant that is harvested in the spring. Fresh favas can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried for use later, and the versatile bean can be used for salads, stews, sauces, fillings, snacks, and more. Fava beans need a long, cool growing season. They won't flower well in hot, dry weather. In mild climates, USDA Zones 6 and up, they are planted in the fall and grown through winter; the plants can handle some frost. Broad beans require a 75- to 90-day growing season, depending on the variety.
Fun Fact : Fava Beans go by many names depending on the region you live in. Some of those names include : Horse Bean , Windsor Bean and Tick Bean .
