We’ve searched far and wide and not been able to find fresh broad Beans in any of the supermarkets! Ours are absolutely amazing at the moment – super fresh and full of flavour. Read on to find out more….

Taste: Now at the beginning of the season, our broad beans are so young and fresh that they don’t need cooking. Just remove them from the pod and from their skin and eat them as they are, or try them sprinkled with lemon juice and accompanied by a salty pecorino.

Region: These broad beans are among the best on the market. They are grown in Southern Italy and specifically in Basilicata, where they are considered a staple food.

Quality: The difference between fresh and dried or frozen beans is so great it’s almost impossible to compare, as the flavour changes significantly. Fresh is surely the best choice and the most versatile as it’s good for salads, soups, purees…

Growing: Broad beans are among the most ancient plants in cultivation and also among the easiest to grow. It is believed that along with lentils, peas, and chickpeas, they became part of the eastern Mediterranean diet in around 6000 BC or earlier.

Cost: We always let you know the price per kg so you can easily compare our prices. At the moment you will struggle to find them anywhere else!
