The Bolivian Purple Fava bean is a captivating variety, distinguished by its stunning purple Windsor-style beans. This heirloom bean offers versatility in its usage, presenting the option to be enjoyed either in its dry form or as a delectable treat eaten fresh when boiled in salt water, resembling the flavorsome experience of edamame. This beautiful bean not only adds visual appeal to your garden but also brings a unique and traditional culinary experience to the table. 21g ~ 20 seeds.
Plant seeds directly in the garden starting 3-5 weeks before average last frost date or as soon as the soil can be worked. Favas can be planted usually at the same time as peas. In climates where winters remain above 10°F, can also be planted late-summer to early-fall. Pinching back the upper part of the plant as the initial pods emerge typically results in beans of higher quality that are more consistently uniform. For dried beans, harvest a few weeks after normal picking time when the pods are thick, well-filled and dry. Can also be used for cover cropping.
