Planting instructions:Fava beans should be planted as soon as possible in the spring, such as during February to April, or planted in the fall to overwinter in warmer areas. The seeds and plants can take weather as cold as 20 F. Soaking fava bean seeds in warm water overnight can help germination.
Care:Be sure to plant fava beans in fertile soil. Water well during warm spells. Control weeds with cultivation or mulch.
Harvesting: Pull entire plant once lower pods are dry and upper pods are fully developed. Shell beans before cooking or eating.
Nutritional Value: Fava beans are a rich source of minerals and vitamins with high fibre and low calorie benefits.
Collecting Seed: Allow healthy fava bean pods to grow until they turn black, then remove the pods and collect the seeds. Plants will cross pollinate if planted near other varieties.
