GREENSEA Broad Bean, Dolichos Seed (37 per packet)

Broad bean seeds, also known as fava beans, are large, flat, and oval-shaped seeds that come from the broad bean plant (Vicia faba). They have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, with a texture that is similar to a green bean. The seeds are typically enclosed in a tough, leathery pod. The color of broad bean seeds can vary, but they are most commonly green or brown. The inside of the seed is usually white or yellow, and it is divided into two cotyledons. Broad bean seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and folate. These seeds are used in a variety of dishes around the world. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried. They are often used in soups, stews, and salads. In some cultures, they are also used to make flour and bread.
