Beans, Fava, Ur Kupina

Vicia Faba (80 days to green shelling beans) 

A unique heirloom named after the city in Bolivia, this is a large seeded broad bean that can be fall or spring sown. Grows to 3 feet tall and produces 12-20 large pods with 1” beans. These can be shelled fresh and steamed for a delicious treat that has been enjoyed throughout the middle east and mediterranean regions, as well as central and south America. Easy to grow, favas are also a great nectar source for beneficial insects. Dry beans have beautiful tan and brown swirls on them like little mouse ears. HEIRLOOM, SSF
